Hi All,
I just noticed there are some white patches on my Panda plant. I only just noticed it, I doubt it was there a week ago. The patched are hard and look and feel like white paint has dripped on to the leaves and then dried up. Any idea what this is? And how to get rid of it? I'm so sad....my poor plant. Please help!!

Thank you again Asica. You were right, I found this reply off of another forum. Hope it helps.

Agree with oedema. Put plant in your sunniest possible spot and if the soil doesn't dry very quickly, repotting to a more fluffy/chunky/porous/airy one as soon as practical/convenient would be something to consider. Without enough oxygen in the soil while moist, roots can rot (and is called overwatering.)
Sadly too late for this one. I didn't realise I had left it out in the rain. A few days ago I noticed the plant had completely wilted and the part where the leaves join to the stem seems mushy. So I've since broken off the leaves in the hopes of propagating what's left of it. I hope it works, if not it will be my first succulent casualty.
