Overwatering. So, I would give it at least 2 weeks before watering it again. Leave in a bright sunny spot. They love sun. Before you water your succulents, feel the leaves and only water them if they feel a little squishy, or less firm than usual. I hope this helps!

If it just happens every once in a while, it might just be the plant getting rid of older leaves. But if it’s happening more often, then it’s probably overwatering like the other comment said.

Bigger pot family!

### Duhmage commented on 2024-07-25

And yes I agree it could be overwatering just put them in slightly bigger pot so it can store more nutrients it has nice big leaves

#### send\_nodes replied on 2024-07-25

Succulents have small root systems, so a bigger pot would result in the soil staying wet for too long :)

### Duhmage commented on 2024-07-25

Succulents can outgrow there pots too (: imo. And just use better soil
