I’m worried about my new little plant. The first picture is when I first got it, a couple of months ago, and the second is just a few days ago. It’s clearly unhappy. Thoughts on the problem? Too much water maybe, not enough sun, too cold? I water it about every 3-4 weeks when it seems dry. I’m in Vancouver Canada so our sunlight is low now + is cool outside. Any help would be appreciated.

I have a Burros tail plant as well and if you aren’t already, I suggest bottom watering the plant, because I have been told that the leaves are quite sensitive to having water directly on them.

I can’t water bottom so drainage may be an issue. Have you transplanted this type of plant before? Are they sensitive to that?

It needs more light! You can supplement with a grow light until spring

Good idea! I will add a grow light!
