Seeking Advice 😊  
I have this (once gorgeous) bear claw succulent. I think it’s been growing out of its container, and may have suffered a bit. Would you suggest I repot? How?

I have this crinkle leaf plant. It similar to a bears paw and mine looks similar in terms of lots of aerial roots. I think it’s worth trying a repot as it’s definitely struggling. How often do you water?

I only water when it’s dry, maybe every other week.  
I’m just nervous because I think it’s a bit fragile and the leaves (?) fall off easily

### Kelly commented on 2026-09-04

I don’t think I water mine enough which is why it has so many aerial roots.
