She looks a lil over-dry to me but could be the opposite - How’s the soil? and light? Could be stretching to sun

I water once a month and it’s in a west facing window so it does get a decent amount of light. I do need to water it very soon.

In addition to fixing any underlying problems such as over/under watering and light, I usually use some chop sticks or, skewers to stabilize them until they can stand up on their own again. Their roots can be quite slow to grow.

I might try that!

It’s in my bathroom which has West facing light. So it truly gets a decent amount of light. I do water it once a month since it’s a succulent and doesn’t like to be overwatered. Maybe I’ll add some chopsticks to help stabilize it.
