Anyone know what these little spots are on my succulents? #Moonstone #SucculentSquad #SucculentLove #HappyPlants #BurrosTail

Eva is not okay. #Moonstone This isn't how she's supposed to look, is it?! The middle had two leaves and they both dropped off. I'm not sure what I did. She's in a southeast window and only watered when the soil is dry. We're in England in winter, so I'm not sure this is the right environment for her. Any tips, please? That fat middle stem just looks so sad.

How much she has grown!!! #HappyPlants #SucculentLove #Pachyphytum #Margrit #Succulents #NewGrowth #NewPlantMom

I found this little buddy in the nursery, not sure if it's a healthy plant. It's my first time growing succulent, so I picked this little buddy for my first try, if I messed up her at least I'm only messing up a thumb size plant (you know what I mean). #moonstone #pachyphytum #succulentsquad #plantsmakepeoplehappy

12 days ago, I thought I bought a dead or fake baby moonstone #succulent for 1.28usd from a nearby nursery. Today I saw her stem tip is greenish which was not there when I bought it, because the whole stem was brown. I guess she is finally growing. 😅 #plantsmakepeoplehappy

Shriveled leaves Help, my plant has been looking like this for a while despite the correct watering schedule and sunlight amount.

The Pachyphytum Oviferum I got a while back that arrived in not the best condition has come a long way. So proud and glad I didn’t give up on it. 🥲 #SucculentSquad #SucculentLove #Succulents #Pachyphytum #BeforeAndAfter

I panicked 😅 Okay, I just bought this beauty today. Haven't even put it in soil yet because holy cow, I hate spiders, lol. Anyway, I sprayed it down completely with a water/alcohol mix because that's all I have on hand. There was definitely a spidermite, I saw it trying to hide in the soil when I started spraying. So I shook off all the dirt from the store pot, noticed the stems were growing very awkwardly so I just separated them wherever they decided to break apart from each other. Each section has a decent amount of roots still attached. I rinsed each section with running water to clean the roots and leaves as best I could, used a small brush to get between leaves, etc. Now she is laying out to dry on a paper plate in a shady spot that gets indirect light. All the roots on the stem pieces are very dark and even some of the stems are a little darker above the roots. Should I trim these roots and try to start fresh growth? Or do they look viable? How soon can I get it into a new pot? And how soon do I water after getting it resituated in the new pot?
