Could be Echeveria Perle vonNurnberg, or another quite similar looking echie. Leaves wrinkle like that usually when thirsty - but don't just start watering more without being sure. Keep checking soil deep inside of pot to see how fast it dries up.

If water and/or disease problem (or even natural drying of oldest leaves), propping them with anything will not help. Solving the problem will (except, as I said, natural ageing :)

How coarse is the sand? It should be at least coarse enough not to pass thru the kitchen sieve and coarse is better. If my plant, I would add much more sifted perlite and perhaps some grit (if the sand is finer). C&S potting mix often contains too much peat.

The C&S mix is from a local nursery and I talked to the lady she said not a lot of peat is added. The sand i added if builders course and then gravel. It looks like that bc I pick out the big pieces :P there's not much stem to it. Maybe I'll do spritz of water to see if it's thirst.

Thx Breton2 I think I'll try that :)

Pls. do not spritz leaves...plants roots should be watered, wetting leaves isn't best practice for succulents. Do as Breton suggested...but check soil for dryness/wetness before doing so.

Bag of C&S soil should have ingredients listed on it by % content. Better to check that than going by what sales person said, as they often do not know for sure and assume if C&S soil, must be free draining (not everyone, but more often than not :)

I am not suggesting big pieces of gravel; size is important and usually 2-6mm is recommended. Here is the size of particles I use:

Thanks Rina :)

im pretty sure she was the owner or one of.
