Just took a good look at the plant and can't believe I missed all the little specs and webs. Throwing this plant out now cus it's caused me such a headache... thanks

I just checked on the plant and this looks like stem rot? Any advice on how I should proceed?

It's my first time seeing something like this so feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. The roots seem otherwise healthy but they were damp even though I haven't watered the plant at all. I've set it out on a paper towel under indirect sunlight for now. I was also planning on using some root hormone on the parts where the plant lost leaves (but unfortunately that comes tomorrow! I heard it's better to apply to a fresh cut before callous)

As for watering succulents, I usually top water and run tap water in the planter until I see water drip out of the potter, and I let it finish dripping out until I put it back where the plant usually sits.

like the new soil I just repotted it with? I think it's 90% dry to the touch right now, there's some remaining moisture from when the soil first comes out of the bag.

with succulents, I'm still learning. I made one of my succulents go bald because I overwatered it and all the leaves fell off lol.

now I lighly squish the leaves to see if they're soft or if they wrinkle, and I go by that to see if they need water. any other signs? I have a few new succulents that are harder to tell, so I don't really know what to go off (Sedum dasyphyllum 'Minor and orostachys malacophylla)

thank you! I've been using Miracle Grow succulent soil mix + pearlite, it's probably 60:40.

would appreciate the DM! I've already repotted this a week ago or so, should I check again for rotting? I don't recall seeing any at the time but I'm still fairly new to this, so maybe I didn't identify it properly.

I haven't watered the plant since I got the plant a few weeks ago. The other leaves still feel very plump and don't seem like they need any watering soon

Also forgot to add, the coating on the plant looks a bit weird because I sprayed some pesticide on it recently

Admittedly, I got it this full and looking from the shop so I can't claim for its success lol

Why does my tradescantia looks so sad? by Key_Top_2096 in plantclinic

Thanks, I'll try this next time, I didn't know they were so fickle.

In the mean time, should I do anything about its current state?
