Sorry don’t know whether you should repot or not. But your plant is so huge and so pretty! I just got my first Burros tail today and I’m super excited about it!

Don’t touch it! Don’t move it. Don’t breathe on it. 😂 But in all honesty, I’d take a couple of the droppings and start propagating them for when the time comes to retire this beauty.

It’s just too perfect to mess with.

They prefer being root bound so leave it
There’s no signs of distress or it not getting enough water

Both of those plants are heavenly!!! 😮 I’m in 9b as well and am just starting my succulent journey

That plant is gorgeous! If it’s been in that soil for a while then start putting some liquid fertilizer in the water. I usually use half what the instructions say. This beauty will continue to thrive.
Click on photo to see better. I just throw the leaves that fall off when I accidentally brush up to it back into the pot and eventually you have new growth at the top to refresh the planter.☺️🌵

What kind of succulent is this?

I repotted mine last summer. It was scary. Def lost some. It has recovered tho!

Where do you live? They’re gorgeous! I wish my succulents would grow like this.

I let mine get super duper root bound. When I *do* repot mine, I stick knives or flat spatulas around the sides of the pot depending on the size [2 or 3 of them should work], and then use them like tongs to pull the whole thing out by the root ball. You can work by hand after so you can gently set it into your pre-prepped pot and make sure the stems don’t get snapped.
Even if the plant loses a lot of beans, it’s still usually a far less amount than normal repotting this way. My current plant is slightly larger than yours and, like, 3 years old, and it’s worked every time. I’m about to do another, and I’m definitely scared, but confidence is key 😂

That is gorgeous. You don’t have to repot it, but you can always trim some of them and propagate the clippings if you want.
Generally I wait to repot until they don’t really respond to watering/they get thirsty a lot more quickly (which means they’re rootbound).
But yeah, I never look forward to repotting Burro’s tails lol. Leaves falling off is inevitable but at least they propagate easily.

I am also dreading repotting mine.

Gorgeous. I’ve never seen one so full and beautiful! I’d be afraid to touch it!
What a beauty! How old is she?
I would just snip some cuttings close to the base. Judging by your comment it sounds like you know what happens when you breathe too closely.
I would try my hardest to find a pot that resembles Bob Marleys’ face and repot it in that. That would be sick.
You don’t have to repot mine have been in the same pot for 17 years. Just raise it higher as it grows.
