The ..."lately I noticed leaves are turning yellow and some tips are turning brown"...is result of the not-so-good soil in not-so-good container.

If you pot it in container with drain hole and use a well draining mix, the plant will be much healthier and look much better.

Watering in 'sips' isn't the answer. When needed, the plant should be watered thoroughly, and then again when the mix dries up. That way you won't over or under water so easily.

No "awkward laugh" is needed! If you don't ask, you cannot learn. I've learned a lot here. Glad you shared your plant and picture.

Your plant is in the wrong pot, wrong soil, and planted too deep. But the light part sounds good! Get a pot (not too big, and clay is good but plastic ok too) with drain hole. Best mix is commercial cactus/succulent mix and perlite combined 50/50. Water only when dry.

Thank you socks and rina! I'll do that asap.

Hi Jane,

Since you said you're new, allow me to explain a bit. Pls clean up those roots w/ your fingers, crumble off anything dry, crunchy & brittle. Shake it off removing any loose soil.

Sprinkle some cinnamon on the remaining roots, then shake it off (it's a natural antifungal & will help stave off any rot). Use a pot only an inch larger around than the plant.

Good advice above, can I pls. add when you repot it, don't water it. Wait about 4 days, then water.

Seems no one has said, this isn't a cactus, it's a type of succulent called Haworthia, prefers bright, indirect light, partial shade, not direct sun. Maybe move it to the edge of the window so it gets a bit less light.

Pretty little bowl, if you could fit & seat it in a 3"plastic pot w/ holes, that would be OK.
