Hello! New to plants\& trying to research the best way to care for my new Burro’s tail. I was given this plant a few weeks ago, and I have watered it one time. Do I need to repot it? I feel like the pot is so small and the branches hanging over are going to break off. I’ve researched the best pots, soil etc. but don’t want to overdue it since they seem to do best left alone. Sorry if this is the wrong circle. Any tips welcome! Also recommendations are appreciated. 😊

Succulents has very shallow roots. The pot size seems ok to me, and the soil also looks goos quality. Overall it looks happy. I would just leave it alone.

Agreed. I would say - leave it be. Be sure it’s near bright light most of the day, and let it completely dry out between watering. You’re in it for the long-game- patience wins! 🌿
