Pachphytum Caesium leaf drop
Pachyphytum caesium

Yes, with such thick, water-storing leaves, Pachyphytums do readily drop leaves due to rot. The most common case is too frequent watering and/or poor drainage. But your conditions may be different! If you bought it from us, feel free to send photos of the issue to info@mountaincrestgardens.com along with answers to the following questions and we'll try to diagnose it.
1) Growing conditions (full sun, part sun, filtered sun, indoors, outdoors, etc.)
2) Soil used for planting
3) Watering schedule
4) Does the container have a hole for drainage?
