Why did my pinwheel succ get all these ugly scars on it :(  
It happened after I moved it outside, I can only assume bugs.

yeah they always get a little roughed up outside. if they get wet and then burn, usually. chipmunks were eating the leaves off one of mine for water during a heatwave 🙄

Yep🤣 just pulled a few succulents back up on the porch because something was munching on them during this hot dry season.

Omg chipmunks 😭 that sounds so cute but probably not for your plants

Also, I believe aeoniums are dormant in the summer so it might be getting a smidge sunburned since it’s not growing and absorbing as much water.

I didn’t know this, Thank you!

Mine gets those and it stays inside - doesn’t seem to harm them though. I’m guessing it’s sun related like others mentioned
