    hi I fear my husband killed my plants while I was on vacation . I told him to water my plants but I forgot to tell him not the succulents. I came home to find them all looking really bad. Advice ?

    Be kind to your husband - he tried his best.

    OH, advice on the plants. They don't look dead yet. Just don't water them until they are as dry as when you normally would and make sure there isn't water pooling anywhere, like in the pot or the tray. They probably have periods in their natural setting where they get drenched.
    You can remove dead leaves. I don't know whether it is better on the one that lost all the leaves to cut it back or just leave it and not stress it further. Maybe someone will offer more advice.
