Does anyone have any tips for fixing an overwatered succulent here? I’m not entirely sure which type it is since I received it for free but it’s becoming droopy due to overwatering

    Just have to let it be. Make sure it is bright sun. They need a lot of it. Or a grow light for 12hrs a day

    Sometimes I stick some paper towels under the drainage hole to soak up extra water, but otherwise it’s a waiting game!

    You can take it out and leave it to dry on a tissue for 2-3 days, then repot it into a dry mix and wait a week before watering again. Make sure it’s got drainage holes and is only watered once fully dry. If it’s kept in the pot now it’ll likely experience more damage

      I might have to do that because while it is starting to no longer droop the leaves are still squishy and some have started to fall off, haven’t watered it in over 2 weeks 😭

      They can last months without any soil before it causes damage to the roots so you’re better off disturbing them now than when the season changes and it enters its dormant season. Shouldn’t cause any harm as long as the leaves still have access to bright light!

      Alright! I’ll probably have to do it after my vacation and if there’s no improvement by then. I’m also gonna prob change up the soul mixture to my chunky mix I have because I don’t think the mix it’s currently in drains well enough 🤔
