Progression pics ⬇️

I’ve had my Dragons Breath for about a month now. I got it as an anniversary present and I’m trying desperately to keep it alive! Please please please help me! I can’t afford to pay the diagnostic on here so I’m desperately reaching out because I don’t know what I’m doing wrong😭

I don’t have experience with this plant, but is it crispy? Hard to tell in the picture - if it is, then probably under watering. Best of luck!

It’s soft

### Steph commented on 2023-06-29

Yeah it looks like either too much sun or underwatering

#### alex replied on 2023-06-29

definitely

### Plant lady commented on 2023-06-29

These plants like full sun but maybe try to fertilize and water more often

#### Pudgeroo replied on 2023-06-29

What would you recommend fertilizer wise?

### Plant lady commented on 2023-06-29

Mine are in full sun 2 months in and they are doing great … I would recommend looking at the roots .. Also you have it in a pot so I would recommend removing the old soil and using a cacti mix and perlite and orchid bark n work casting make sure you have no root rot if so remove it and spray it with 3% peroxide wash all the roots off of old dirt and clean and spray the pot as well .. The soil that it’s in is the original soil mine came in …. change the soil so the roots can breath that soil is very dense and meant for greenhouse growing…
