Hi Diane, with some of my echeverias, I notice they do a summer rest, and then resume growth when our cooler Fall temps resume or as soon as temps go favorably better than our super hot high 90's to 100's. Just got to take the cue from the way the leaves grow at times. It is not necessarily dying, just at rest. In my area it really helps to put them in part shade. But now it is Fall, so cool temps are back, lots of succulents will be upbeat again.
