Looks like a watering problem. Could you send a picture of the entire plant?

#### Jay replied on 2025-01-14

Sure.

what’s the powder on the leaves? it looks overwater too with the yellow in the leaves. what’s his sunlight situation?

#### Jay replied on 2025-01-15

Natural light, though it's hasn't been so bright due to winter...

This looks like powdery mildew. It’s a tricky fix but YouTube has some good videos on treatment!

It’s powdery mildew. High humidity, poor air circulation and overwatering can promote the growth of the spores. I’ve never treated it on succulents. Check online.

Okay, thank you!

I have had this issue before and I have taken 2 aspirin and crushed them up and put them in a 32 Oz water bottle and sprayed them with it and it has helped with several of mine. Don't drench it though cause you don't want to over water your Succulents. I live in the pnw and I only water them about every 3 to 5 weeks depending on how they look. Good luck
