What’s happening to my plant

I bought a plant before Christmas (I’m unsure what it is, the scanning app says a “canner lily“ but I’m unsure if that’s correct! I’ve only watered it two or 3 times since having it but it appears to be rotting- from the top? I’ve got some photos of this but where new leaves were sprouting from the centre of the stem, has now turned to brown mush! Plus a few of the leaves have fallen off, this is very upsetting as it’s such a beautiful plant! Any ideas on if it can be rectified?

Comments (3)It could be mold - powdery mildew. Bathrooms are humid, and succulents are arid climate plants. Even if you have other plants not having same problem, it could be just question of time. There are other plants that would enjoy more humidity, but not succulents. Besides that, it is usually darker in bthrooms and succulents need lots of light. Looking at your photos, they are showing some etiolation. Leaves are growing too far apart because plants are not getting enough light....See MoreWhat’s happening to my tomatoes?

Comments (7)Normal potting mix for a succulent generally retains too much moisture, and 50% coarse sand helps but probably does not tip the balance. If you do not want to hassle with creating your own mix from scratch, I would change the soil to 50% commercial "cactus mix" and 50% perlite. I prefer pumice to perlite since it is heavier and does not float. Since you have your own greenhouse, I am wondering do you have a lot of succulents, and are most of those in the same soil and thriving? Is there any chance the greenhouse becomes extremely humid or hot?...See MoreAbigail Langton
