| So, I'm a first timer when it comes to succulents. I went to a nursery with my mother and we both picked out a succulent. I chose Cubic Frost. Fast forward a few weeks and now only the bottom leaves are yellow, wrinkly, and a little soft but not extremely mushy. What am I doing wrong? I have the plant in a 3 inch pot and the plant is 2.5 inches across. I also have it in a south facing window with a fan on it so the soil dries out faster. I know the soil I bought (Home Depot cactus soil) isn't the best so I'm trying not to water it too much. I've only watered it twice since I've had it. Please help me :(  |

 It looks relatively good. I see a couple new little pups at the base of the stem. Does the pot have a drain hole? You may not be watering enough (twice in a few weeks in such a small pot is not a lot of water) but, if the pot doesn't have drainage, the plant will slowly fail, no matter how little water you give it.

DaisyI said: Hi Daisyl! Thank you so much for replying! Thankfully, my pot does have a drainage hole in the bottom! I will try gradually increasing my watering schedule to see if that helps. Again, thank you!! |

| It looks okay to me too. When you do water, water to completion (until water comes out the hole at the bottom). |
