My elephant foot plant is getting crunchy leaves on the bottom. last time I bottom watered it and it soaked up almost all the water, should I water it more often.

    It looks healthy. It’s not drooping. How long have you had it? When is the last time you watered?

      I’ve had it for quite a few months. I water it pretty often, maybe like once every other week?

      Caudex plants will lose their bottom or older leaves when they’re getting ready to send out new growth, temperature change or moving from one location to the other with different light exposure in my experience. Is that something you can relate this situation? It could also have been really thirsty at the time. You might even experience new leaves significantly smaller than when first purchased. It should be established by now so watering every other week or so is fine as long as the substrate is dry and it is not left to sit in a water for more than 30 mins. Are you having any issues with it now?
