winterizing succulents!

9 years ago

Hello! I have two succulents, and a shallow saucer full of small, propagated babies (bad timing for propagation, i know) I have an Echeveria 'Canadian' and an Echeveria 'Dark Prince'.

They have been doing well over the summer, however I soon brought them inside when the temperatures began to drop. I live in zone 8a, so it normally doesn't drop to or beneath freezing temperatures (but when it does, it's only for a very short period of time) Recently, I reintroduced my succulents back outside because the temperatures have been around the high 60s-70s. However, I soon noticed that the leaves of my succulents were softening and turning a bit squishy. There is no discoloration, although the small propagated babies are getting a little wrinkly. I am not watering them often at all, so it isn't an overwatering issue. I think the humidity may have something to do with it? It's quite humid here after all. Please help me to figure out what's wrong with my succulents!

Echeveria 'Canadian' I bumped it a few times and the lovely wax never fully recovered :(

Echeveria 'Black Prince' Not really sure what the light brown scars are from, but I assume that they are sunburns from over the summer.
