What does an overwatered sedum look like?
Overwatering Sedum
An overwatered sedum will die a lot faster than an underwatered one. Stonecrop leaves will tell you if it is being overwatered. Soft mushy leaves and wilting is the first sign of overwatering. If the leaves are turning black, the sedum is beginning to rot from too much water.

Do sedums like sun or shade?
When & Where to Plant Sedum

Why is my succulent shriveling?
The reason succulent leaves shrivel is because they are either over watered or under watered. Succulents need the soil to dry out between bouts of watering. If the soil is damp the stress causes the leaves to shrivel turn yellow and mushy. Under watering causes succulents to shrivel and turn brown.
