I live in Yuma, AZ, avg temp now is 110 daily. I chose succulent plants for this region. I planted outdoors, ice plants and Baby Sunrose (I believe they are called). They are a form of iceplant. They were planted mid to late april. When planting I did put potting soil in with them. The baby sunrose seemed very happy, but the iceplants kind of just hung in there. I don't believe watering is the problem I am having. For about 2 months now, my plants have been dying off stem by stem. (the baby rose). The ice plants never did well to begin with. Problem is this, at the ground there are 4 main stems coming out of the plant, 1 is completely dead at the stem, dried out.... the other stems are fine and look good.. As for garden pest, I see occasional ants and an occasional lizard. nothing else. There is no rhyme or reason. watering issues would be more obvious.
Attached are 3 photos. 1 happy plant, 1 kind of hanging in there barely and 1 that the stem died and I removed. The happy plant can look like the unhappy and dead one almost overnight. It happens that fast. All Plants get watered the same amount and at the same time of day. Early morning or Evening.
help please if anyone has thoughts. city water? need nutrients? Lizard chewing on plant. Bugs that are to small to see
thank you for any help
