    Sick Succulent?

    Sunday, March 9, 2008, 09:22 PM PST [Plants]

    Hey everyone!

    A few weeks ago I bought a desert plant that is a succulent.  It's common name is Dragon's Blood.  Recently it's leave-type things have been dropping off and I'm not sure what that means.

    I gave it some plant food today and have kept the soil as moist as it needs to be, I think.

    If anyone has this plant, or a similar plant, advice would be very much appreciated.  I don't know what to do, or if I should do anything.

    Thanks in advance!

    This was taken the day I bought it.


    This was taken tonight.  Several leaves have fallen off and many are losing the stored fluid (it's a cousin of the cactus).

    Hard to say - doesn't look too moist from the picture but the most common problem people run into with succulents is over-watering them. Unfortunately, the symptoms of over-watering and under-watering are much the same. Getting plenty of light? How often are you watering it?
