can someone help me with my succulent? the leaves have turned black and skinny/shriveled while the bottom of the plant is yellow and dead. i can’t tell if i’m overwatering or under watering- i only water it once or twice a month :( i’m not sure what im doing wrong or how to make it better.
Looks severely under-watered to me. Are you drowning it when you water or just putting a little in? When you do water you have to COMPLETELY saturate the soil.

Gotta drown that hoe for sure

Not sure if this helps at all but my haworthia were getting watered ~once a week (when temps were 90-100). But it also lives outside in the summer! Highly agree with the above comments, I find it easier to just refresh the soil but I wouldn’t upsize the pot.

I don’t water my zebra’s until the soil is pretty dry. I’ve had this one for about 3 years and done beautifully. Not sure about bottom watering, as their roots are quite shallow.
