I got a new succulent which at first just had a couple of sun/edema spots but in the 2 weeks I’ve had it, its leaves have developed spots/marks all over. Two leaves shriveled up today but all the rest are super plump. I haven’t watered it since I got it and I repotted it immediately into a chunky succulent soil mix to live with this aloe. The roots looked great. He’s under a grow light 12hr/day plus in a W window (I’m far north so don’t get too much light. All the other succulents are loving it). Let me know what you think - thank you! Last pic is what he looked like when I got him. ![Attachment 1 of 4](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/gp3ljrhTeqIpsNXLvuCr41BeH4trYDpQyRTfFa5Nu54/a0WSt4RAS6WlFhWGTEh-Zw.webp?size=large) ![Attachment 2 of 4](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/gp3ljrhTeqIpsNXLvuCr41BeH4trYDpQyRTfFa5Nu54/LOPVSDiuS1yBL_AyobbvOw.webp?size=large) ![Attachment 3 of 4](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/gp3ljrhTeqIpsNXLvuCr41BeH4trYDpQyRTfFa5Nu54/GSZ7hmiWQNiyWxj_6TSXhg.webp?size=large) ![Attachment 4 of 4](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/gp3ljrhTeqIpsNXLvuCr41BeH4trYDpQyRTfFa5Nu54/tXINlz9yRvuPWrVE5GlTnw.webp?size=large) ## 13 comments ### Jo commented on 2025-02-20 Im gonna guess and say it could be some sort of Fungal infection, it’s hard to tell but since you haven’t really watered it that’s my guess! Also your pot is ADORABLE I love it!!! #### BigGrac replied on 2025-02-20 Thanks it was $10 at Lowe’s! Also where I got the plants ### Dave\_opuntiaface commented on 2025-02-21 I have watched my same plant change colors and patterns over the last year. ![Attachment 1 of 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/gFKgBIDtQUSoNHyzAXA4pLM-wYI4yLGXFPAMGDtMt3o/w5DaNSNaTEabuJVThIHqNw.webp?size=large) #### Dave\_opuntiaface replied on 2025-02-21 First pic is today, this one is last August. It had a dark green outline at one point. The dots haven't seemed to slow it down - but I assumed mine were a product of overwatering/sun burn. #### Dave\_opuntiaface replied on 2025-02-21 Sorry, with pic (August 2024) ![Attachment 1 of 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/gFKgBIDtQUSoNHyzAXA4pLM-wYI4yLGXFPAMGDtMt3o/0-ZMfA1LTzao-68H-uojug.webp?size=large) #### BigGrac replied on 2025-02-21 Ah okay yours has similar spotting then. I was just surprised with how fast it showed up on mine since I only got it 2 weeks ago. #### Dave\_opuntiaface replied on 2025-02-21 One thing too, which I always forget, is that it takes a while for a plant to get used to new surroundings. It might flail a little while doing so. For example, my tenuous hypothesis that I didn’t evenly water, and the recent imbalance (repotting, re-homing) made some leaves take up more water. I wish I had more hard science, but all these freaking plants have unique caveats lol. ### Pam commented on 2025-02-21 Hmm 🤔 I’ve had an arrangement with that same sedum I think (the orange one). Mine was paired with a jade plant, I think yours is some sort of aloe. Now my sedum doesn’t look orange at all and doesn’t look too happy. I’ve had these plants on a south facing window sill, but I think the sedum just really needs full sun outdoors, or maybe a grow light. My windows have modern glass that I think block out some of the UV rays. So spots might be edema? Idk #### BigGrac replied on 2025-02-21 Hoping the spots are edema too. It’s under a grow light but I might have to move it closer to maintain the color. Thanks for your input! ### Pam commented on 2025-02-21 Oh and also my jade plant turned red. So it’s like they swapped color. ### Giusy 🌵🪻 commented on 2025-02-21 Sedum keeps its color only under grow lights indoor. ![Attachment 1 of 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/ZdkWOvthzuo0x02OKSFdyouibaak1HBSlG0fcMmLzVs/9CY99tBIQ4mb2_SFoVHp3g.webp?size=large) #### BigGrac replied on 2025-02-21 Hm it’s under a grow light! Maybe I’ll just put it closer. It’s the spottiness I’m more concerned about - do you think that’s a light thing too or a water/sickness problem? #### Giusy 🌵🪻 replied on 2025-02-21 I don’t think it’s a light or water problem. It could be something else, fungus or pest, but I don’t have much experience with these issues. --- _Source: the Planta community (https://getplanta.com). Reading is open to everyone.
