Just looking for some tips!  
My succulent here (i’m not too sure what kind) was doing wonderful, purple and full!! And I followed what the app said (watering every 25 days, next to window, etc) and she’s become sad and lost most of her leaves!! If you have any tips for me please let me know!

Could be overwatering. I only water mine once a month, and I make sure the soil is bone dry if I do water at that one month period. You know it’s ready for water if the leaves start to look wrinkly/not plump.

Most likely, I get so nervous my babies are dried out and then end up doing this!

I think overwatering could be a problem, I have a succculent like that and I overwatered it, now I’ve found the longer I forget abt them the better they look lol

Do you know an estimate to how often you’re watering, or are you just doing it whenever you realize it’s been a while ?

Probably around once or twice a month
