I just had a misting task for my succulent, and i noticed a few of the leaves look a bit wrinkly, so I felt it and it feels mushy. I last watered it about 18 days ago, it has not been repotted, but it has been doing great for the year that i have had her until now. What is wrong?

Planta’s policy is to post to only one forum instead of posting the same topic on several forums or it gets crazy. It dilutes the discussion over several forums and makes scrolling difficult.

Oh, sorry i wasn't aware of that rule

Not a problem.

Wrinkled leaves normally mean the plant is thirsty

If this plant has never been repotted, check the root ball for mesh. If it originally had mesh around the roots and has outgrown the mesh, that would stress out the plant and could possibly kill it if not removed.

Oh ok! Thank you so much

Also, it’s growing tall because it’s looking for the sun… Dunk it in water and put it in brighter light,

Just the pot, not the leaves? Or the leaves as well?
