My paddle plant has gotten very squishy recently. Nothing has changed about her watering schedule, location, or pot. What should I do? Repot? Help!

woah! your paddle plant seems really big for that pot. they are very sensitive to the size of pot they are in and the pot size almost determines if the plant is healthy or not, not the watering! so weird but its just what i’ve learned with mine

Thank you so much! She’s been in that pot for about two years!

Are you letting the soil dry completely before re-watering? Are you making sure it doesn’t ever sit in standing water?
