Hey I been seeing many people do this DO NOT TOUCH THE LEAVES on your succulent it can rub off the wax on them and sometimes make it to where your plant has a hard time regenerating leaves!!!

Yep, that farina likes to come off if you look at it wrong!🤪 I use a lower leaf as the sacrificial leaf to check if it needs water yet. That one won’t be as pretty but it keeps the rest of the plant pretty.😊

The wax on a succulent actually helps prevent sunburn!
