Apart from the yellow leaves, both look pretty OK. Too much water, I think. Succulents need hardly any water, especially when they are outside. Check the soil ?
It looks to me like they are in 2 different types of containers.The one on the left has "overflowed" whereas the one on the right is cramped. I don't think you need to worry......maybe put them in cactus.succulent mix?
:)
they look like they should be replanted. I take off the yellow leaves. They should be fine.
To much water will create yellow leaves.Succulents do not require that much water.Repot them in the next size pot in succulent soil.
Less water and give them time, very hard to kill these things so they should be fine
Treat them as you would a cactus, I water mine maybe every three weeks or more. I went away on vacation for a month and watered them well before leaving. They were fine when I got back. Put them in Cactus soil. Also do not use tap water, especially if your water is softened. Tap water will rot the roots and kill the plant. I collect rain water to water mine and in the winter, I melt snow. Also be sure to water at the base and not on the plant.
OVERWATERING makes the leaves turn color like that. Let them set for 2 weeks to dry out. THIS WILL NOT HURT IT BUT WILL HELP IT! Then, water only 1ce a week but don't saturate it. Use just enough to wet the roots. The bottom leaves should dry up & try to fall off when it starts to grow good after that. Gently remove them & leave it alone. It will do fine. Regular potting mix will do fine, just add some peat moss to give it aeration. 1/2 potting mix to 1/2 peat moss. Most companies do this for you but per pound, it costs way more to buy it. Oh, & they like morning &/or afternoon sun but not all day sun. GOOD LUCK! :) ....... P.S. I used to raise cacti & succulents.
I never water these plants if I do they rot i just let the rain take care of them
Agree they do not need water! They can live in just about anything, so cramping not an issue. I stuck one in a statue that had a hole in it!! It is getting bigger and living just fine!!!
I would take them out of the ceramic pots, move them to a larger clay pot (about 1" larger) and let dry out. then water real good and let the water drain out. These look like echevaria and they will outgrow these pots and you will need larger ones just to balance the weight of the plant
You need to get them into larger pot and don't water . Putting them in dry soil will help them also catch rain rain water to give once a month. I have a yard full of these. Remember less water happy plant.
Question: I purchased a pot/ planter with a variety of succulents. Should I repot and how do I know if they are winter hardy ( I live in mid Michigan ) ?
Just plant them outside in plain ole dirt and Mother Nature will water them. I think the do better outside than inside.
I think they do better outside to! When I first started succulents I over watered bad.
I grow chicks and hens in very sandy soil outside and they even winter over in our harsh New England weathers just fine.. If inside, they prefer cactus/succulent soil with good drainage. Also apply Miracle Gro Succulent Plant Food. Both found at Lowe's or Home Depot. Don't over water.
In my opinion, the left Echeveria has adapted to the new surrounding and is opening up because the lighting isn't sufficient. While the right Echeveria hasn't started to react to its new environment yet - given time, it will do the same.
They are growing taller because they’re trying to find light. And the yellow on the leaves suggest that it could be watered too much. They barely need water at all only water them when they are completely bone dry
