High humidity pro tips: Since I live on the west side of the lower Appies, I can't avoid high humidity for all of my plants. We get gulf rain and lake effect rain, my city has higher annual rainfall than Seattle. Most people don't realize that from west crest to foothills of the Smokies and Blue Ridge is a temperate rainforest. None of these things make me less enthusiastic about my little desert friends. So to adapt, I use grittier than usual soil, like 20% cactus potting mix, 20% perlite, 10% neem cake/cinnamon mix (absolutely critical), 50% bonsai jack gritty. Water every 10-14 days, and 4-5 days after watering I get a metal chopstick and aerate the soil so the water in the soil has more open paths to evaporate and for humid air to get in and feed the roots. Just make sure the soil is dry before you start stabbing, because you will break some roots. And very important: if your succulents are inside, you need to be able to feel wind on your skin in that room. No. Still. Air. Ceiling fan, box fan, desk fan, all the fans, I don't care. That air needs to be moving.
I guess that's the symptom of underwater, so yes, you may try to water more. Let's check our blog about the sign of unhealthy leaves & treatment, hope it would be helpful for you 😉 succulentsbox.com/blogs/blog/how-to-tell-if-your-succulent-leaves-are-healthy-their-treatments
My first plant was an echeveria. She got stem rot (roots were white and fine) for an unknown reason. I tried to propagate the leaves and all of them turned translucent then shriveled up 😞
I was not expecting to hear the piano version of Spring Day in the background of a succulent video 💜
