# I’ve had this burrows tail for like 2-3 months and I can’t figure out…

_Posted by Syd on 2023-06-05_

I’ve had this burrows tail for like 2-3 months and I can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong. All the leaves are pointing upwards and they’re squishy and shriveled. At first, I thought I over watered it, then thought it got too much sun. Maybe I’m just not leaving it alone long enough? I only water it once a month now.

Any ideas on how to fix this? I’m STRESSED.

It may be root rot, I would change the soil, but not the pot.

It might be rotted, they look elongated like they’re reaching for nutrients. Try taking one plant out and snipping it where the stem seems damp, make a new plant with the tops and root tone it as if it were a fresh succulent

THANK YOU

Okay, this happens to me too! Do not freak out! It will be okay! There is a super easy solution to this issue. your plant is begging for water! Just water it a little more! And then move it away from very sunny windows and there you go! Problems solved

Water it twice a month
