What does Overwatered succulent look like?

A: A succulent is a plant that has adapted to survive in dry conditions by storing water in its leaves and stems. When the soil becomes too dry, the plant will close its leaves and stop photosynthesis. The roots will then start to grow into the soil, searching for moisture.

Why are my indoor succulents dying?

A: The most likely cause of this is that the soil in your succulent pot is too wet. You should try to let the soil dry out more before watering again. If you are still having problems, its possible that there is a pest problem going on.

 

How do I protect my succulents from root rot?

A: In order to protect your succulents from root rot, you should plant them in a pot that is at least twice as deep as the height of the plant. You can also use a layer of sand or gravel on top of the soil to help prevent water from seeping into the ground and causing root rot.

Overwatering your succulent can cause the leaves to wilt and turn brown. If you want to save them, try placing them in a bowl of water with a small amount of dish soap. Reference: overwatered succulent leaves.
