Help! Her leaves feel very flimsy. Does it need water I don’t know what else to do with her. Does she need more light. Shes close to an East facing window

Is it an Easter cactus? I water mines weekly but it is in a very small pot for its size, so it is fully dry for around two days before it is watered again

I’d definitely check the roots of this plant. The looks of the leaves closer to the base of the plant don’t look good, but if the roots are rotted, this plant is very easy to propagate, and I’d be happy to walk you through how to repot it if necessary. As for watering, if you find the roots look alright, you can use a toothpick or barbecue skewer to stick into the soil to see if the soil is dry enough to water. If the skewer comes out clean, it’s safe to water, but if you find any moisture or soil stick to the skewer, then you might wanna wait a day or two to check again before watering it. I have one of these about the size of yours and would wait about 11-14 days before watering (I currently wait 14 for mine). They like to be more snug in their pots, too, and in well draining cactus mix, so repotting in something smaller might help too. I’d opt for something no more than 2 inches larger than the diameter of the root ball for this plant. Hope this helps!
