probably wilting and wrinkling. you could always wait for the lowest leaves to dry up and turn brown if youre not sure

He/she/it is beautiful, 100 x infinity!
The rule i use for when to water my succulents is this: you know when you first water a potted succulent, it’s heavy? It has a certain weight to it . It’s heavy!
I wait til the pot feels light again and sometimes I wait a few days after that. Then I water ( bottom water).
I don’t go by the “ wrinkly leaves means watering time” because leaves wrinkle for a variety of reasons. Watering them may exacerbate the problem. Take the plant out of the pot. Smell it. If it’s stinky – probably root rot. If the roots have gone way beyond looking pot bound, it may be time for a new pot. ( And the new pot should only be x inches bigger than the old. I always forget what the magic number but it’s easy to find out. Just google it! )
Maybe there’s a tiny leprechaun inside playing with your plant and your mind. Ooooooo….
The point is every succulent is different and the same. Some do best pot bound. Some like room to spread out. Some get wrinkly when they’re feeding; some when they are thirsty.
I wish i knew the needs of your gorgeous Crassula exilis picturata but Im too tuckered out from Christmas Dinner Family Drama to start wrangling google and then coming back to this page and everything is wiped out, because I’m using a newer version of iPad ( 2.1?)and it just sucks.

The leaves just look and feel thinner, and sometimes flimsier (is that a word? Flimsy lol)
