I’ve owned it for years… _qwertyaprwさんが2024-05-22に投稿しました_ Any advice for how to help my succulent? I’ve owned it for years (since before I knew how to take care of plants), and I recently removed the dead parts and repotted it. It seems to be getting worse, though. The bottom drainage hole is plugged up with some moss to prevent all the soil from falling out, so maybe it’s retaining too much water? It does still get drainage, but not as much as it probably should. It’s in a very warm and sunny windowsill 24/7, and the planter is made from 3D-printed resin. ![3件中1件目の添付ファイル](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/Q85ezgqc-SxCRtgN5yCpAzkb_nX8xvXNyZPEmax9KZw/K16CscJZTA2QA8Pe76aU0Q.webp?size=large) ![3件中2件目の添付ファイル](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/Q85ezgqc-SxCRtgN5yCpAzkb_nX8xvXNyZPEmax9KZw/TW_IyLVBSOetTkE6ejfEOA.webp?size=large) ![3件中3件目の添付ファイル](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/Q85ezgqc-SxCRtgN5yCpAzkb_nX8xvXNyZPEmax9KZw/mIBpe_BsSiaeIlzAUsobxw.webp?size=large) ## 10件のコメント ### Jbear13さんが2024-05-22にコメントしました Very cool planter! I’m thinking maybe it’s that moss “plug” retaining moisture. I would pull it out through the bottom and just place a drip tray under to protect the windowsill. You could also opt for a little plastic or metal mesh disk next time you repot if you don’t like the look of the drip tray!😄 #### qwertyaprwさんが2024-05-22に返信しました oh that makes perfect sense, thank you! :) ### GreenLeafさんが2024-05-22にコメントしました Coffee filters work great to cover the bottom of your pots :) they break down over time, but they last long enough for the soil to get established so it doesn’t pour out the bottom when you water. #### Succulent❤️Mamaさんが2024-05-24に返信しました That is a great tip! ### #lovemyplantさんが2024-05-22にコメントしました Hey you also might be overwatering your plant which can rot the roots since it has no drainage Google says to: Repot it with new soil and cover the top with fresh soil And pro tip some plants are allergic to tap water and bottled water and it can brown the leaves like that rain water is the best way to go. #### qwertyaprwさんが2024-05-26に返信しました ohh thank you! i genuinely didn’t know that ### Succulent❤️Mamaさんが2024-05-24にコメントしました I agree with the moss plug being part of the problem. A few more questions so we don’t miss anything. What soil is it in? And how do you determine when to water it? Also how confident are you that it’s an echiveria? It’s hard to tell in its current state, but to me, it looks more like a haworthia or aloe. #### Succulent❤️Mamaさんが2024-05-24に返信しました What’s really confusing me is that it looks under watered. Yellow shriveled leaves. Green sunken leaves. #### qwertyaprwさんが2024-05-26に返信しました It’s in standard potting soil, which is likely part of the issue as well. I’ve heard succulents tend to prefer sandy/rocky soil to facilitate drainage. And as for when to water it, I use Planta’s advice. #### qwertyaprwさんが2024-05-26に返信しました You were right, my plant identification app says it’s a haworthia! --- _Plantaコミュニティ (https://getplanta.com)。閲覧はどなたでも可能です。投稿、コメント、いいねをするには、Plantaアプリをダウンロードしてください: https://getplanta.com/download_
