Hello,
I got this succulent as a present in June 2018 and I would be grateful if someone could answer my questions about it.
First, I don't know what type of succulent is it and whether it actually is a succulent. Any ideas (see pictures)? The leaves are about 20 cm long and about 7 cm broad at the broadest point.
There seem to be some problem with plant, the leaves are consequently getting brown and they seem to be dying. One leave already got completely brown and fell. The stem is also brown.
I wonder what can I do to save it? how often and how much shall I water it? Does it need to be near window? What is the best temperature for it? I usually switch of the heater for night and during the day when I am at work, but I don't think that the temperature gets below about 18C.
I have been watering it a little bit about every four days. When I noticed that it has been getting brown, I started to water it every other day during the last two weeks, but it doesn't seem to help.
Also there appeared to be a little bit of mould on the soil, so I removed the top layer of soil with the mould. Is it possible that I need to buy a new soil and put it into a new pot?
I guess I should at least add some soil, but I am not sure which type of soil would be the best?
Many thanks
