    This is possibly due to consistently wet soil in the cactus container. The damp conditions may be hindering the echeverias' preference for well-draining soil and affecting the cactus, which typically thrives in drier conditions. To address this, consider repotting both plants into separate containers with ample drainage holes and tailored soil compositions. This adjustment, coupled with a revised watering routine, should promote optimal growth and health for both the echeverias and the cactus.
