Can anyone tell me what I’m doing wrong? I thought I was overwatering my burros tail because my leaves have been getting wrinkly and so I cut back on watering and they started to get plump again now they are wrinkled and more from the top are wrinkling too when they weren’t before

to me it looks more like underwatering - theres no yellowing leaves, and the they look dehydrated. theres no problem with a little bit of underwatering though, especially with succulants!

Thank you! I let it bottom water for a few minutes yesterday and it’s looking so much better today!
