- Overwatering:This is a big one! If the soil stays wet for too long, the roots can't breathe and start to rot. You might notice yellowing leaves that then turn brown and mushy at the base.

Light & location: setting the scene for success
Beyond the watering woes, where you put your plant matters a ton! Trailing trio sedum, like many succulents, are sun-worshippers. They absolutelyadorebright, indirect light.
Think of a sunny windowsill, but maybe one that doesn't get scorched by the harshest afternoon sun, especially if you're in a totally hot climate, right?
Good spots:
- East-facing window
- West-facing window (with a sheer curtain if it's intense)
- Brightly lit area away from direct sun
Areas to avoid:
- Dark corners of a room
- Direct, scorching midday sun
- Drafty areas near vents or open doors
Failing to provide enough light can lead to leggy growth and pale leaves, which isn't quite the vibrant look we're going for, is it?

| Symptom | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Yellow, mushy leaves | Overwatering / Poor drainage | You know, allow soil to dry out completely between waterings. Ensure pot has drainage holes. |

| believe it or not, brown spots on leaves | Sunburn or fungal issue | Move to brighter, indirect light. Improve air circulation. |
