# just wondering what i’m doing wrong? i got this plant for my birthday…

_Posted by abigailyfaith on 2025-02-03_

just wondering what i’m doing wrong? i got this plant for my birthday in august last year and i’ve forgotten to water it a lot and it wasn’t in the light really at all, but it was fine

now it’s droopy and the leaves aren’t rubbery like when i first got it, the smaller ones just fall off when i touch them

i want her to flower again 🥺

It’s a succulent it is meant to be barely watered, as in bone dry between watering and it needs full direct sun.
