what happened to my succulent??
Comments (7)well there are plenty of threads on the forum regarding 'the gritty mix' , just put it in the search bar :) If you're looking for a quick temporary fix dunk a whole lot of perlite into the soil...maybe 50/50 ratio. As for the sand, it tends to 'compact' when wet (bad aeration) so it's generally a less popular choice in growing medium. Hope that helps, and goodluck with saving your plant :)...See MoreHELP- what is happening to my beautiful succulent groundcover?
Comments (2)They do well with minimal water, even while rooting in. From the looks of things in the small image, I suspect excess water....See MoreWhat's happening to my succulent? PLEASE HELP!
Comments (5)Leaves that start yellowing and are soft are most often water logged. The most important would be to give it good drainage - pot with drainage holes and very well draining mix. Mounding up the soil is not problem - it actually helps to direct excess water away, but in water retaining mix it helps just a little. Big pot + water-retaining mix = very big chance of rotting. After these are corrected, the plant will need lots of light....See MorePlease help me diagnose what's happening with my succulent!
Comments (3)Is the soil wet? If it is (wet), pull the plant/soil out of the pot and expose it to the air. If it's /dry/ then take it to the sink and fill the pot with water and wait for it to run out the bottom. Tell us what it does, does it go around the edges and almost immediately exit the bottom holes or does it seem like it's taking it a while to exit?...See MoreRelated Professionals
