# Please help! My succulent has taken a turn for the worse and I’m not…

_Posted by Liz on 2025-05-12_

Please help! My succulent has taken a turn for the worse and I’m not sure how to save it. The photo on the right was when I got it, and the left is today. It gets decent lighting and I last watered it 18 days ago. It has been popping out new leaves as well so I thought it was fine. The only thing that has changed is the fact that our weather has recently gone from 70’s to 100° the last couple days, and we don’t have central air. Please tell me what to do, this plant was a gift and it’s very important to me.

It’s the temp change. I put my aloe outside last summer (90 degree days on average in Midwest) when it was used to 70 degree stable inside temp and it turned yellowish and droopy within like 2 days being outside in 90 degree weather. I brought it back inside and it bounced completely back within about 2-3 weeks. You need to find a way to get it back to room-ish temp and it will bounce back.

To add... Check her roots, could be a sign of over-watering? It's starting in the middle, which is kind of a sign.
