NEED HELP 😢. i bought this dragon tail for $20 ! and it started to droop on me after i had repotted in new soil because when i got it it looked old already and the next day the some leaves were VERY floppy and the stems were squishy with wrinkles i guess you could say? should i chop all leaves and leave it in water with these prop drops i bought or what should i do ?

When repotting a lot of plants can go thru shock just from replant especially if the roots or root ball is messed with a bunch, that may be your sagging problem

How's the root ball? If there is anything squishy, trim those off. I would do that, then repot into a pot just big enough to fit the root ball and then not water for a few days until it's acclimated to the new pot. As a last ditch effort you can also trim the squishy roots and put the whole thing in water to propagate. Have no experience with prop drops though!
