Too much watering will lead to hypoxia in the roots, causing root rot, which in turn will cause leaves to fall off; while lack of water will cause the leaves to wither and eventually fall off.

When high temperatures in summer, succulent plants are prone to heatstroke and the leaves turn yellow and fall off; when low temperatures in winter, succulent plants are prone to frostbite and leaves will also fall off.
