Does my Burro’s Tail look okay? I just got it and I’m not sure if it’s unhappy or experiencing some transplant shock? Some of the leaves are drying up near the roots but the soil is moist.

Terracotta pot may help. More breathable makes the soil dry a little quicker to avoid rot. Mine is Itty bitty now I had to prop. Ik its messy and no one likes to touch them bur leaf props back in the pot make it even fuller. Just takes patience.

Oops, wish I had thought about that before I potted. I lost so many leaves in the repotting process! They are so delicate.
