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, itâs heavy? It has a certain weight to it . Itâs heavy!
I wait til the pot feels light again and sometimes I wait a few days after that. Then I water ( bottom water).
I donât go by the â wrinkly leaves means watering timeâ because leaves wrinkle for a variety of reasons. Watering them may exacerbate the problem. Take the plant out of the pot. Smell it. If itâs 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 itâs easy to find out. Just google it! )
Maybe thereâs a tiny leprechaun inside playing with your plant and your mind. OooooooâŠ.
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 theyâre 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 Iâm 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)
