Tigers Jaw has been soft/wrinkled, I watered yesterday but it’s still wrinkled?

Question

#tigersjaw I got this plant a few weeks ago and repotted/trimmed the roots (it was not this wrinkly and soft when I bought it but wasn’t in the best shape either). I just watered it for the first time yesterday because of repotting and trimming the roots. Any ideas why it’s still wrinkly? Also does anyone know if I should trim off the dead flowers? I picked one off so far that just died. It looks like another new one is about to start blooming though! Thanks in advance.

If it's soft after watering, it means that it's overwatered. You need to water about once every 1.5 month in Winter.

@SvelteKingfern · Answer

Also, softness may mean the plant needs more light.

@SvelteKingfern · Answer

This is a succulent. It needs 6 to 8 h of bright doppled light, and scarse watering.

@SvelteKingfern · Answer

Bright partial sun is safer than full direct Sun.

Did you read my post on@these succulent mixes ? Once again its probably your issue.  Looks like dry rot where those pieces are gone and dead on top

I did see you said you cleanex the roots.  But were they dead ? Abd how much of that crappy soil did you remove ?

@SvelteKingfern · Answer

Your plant is in succulent soil. Any commercial succulent soil will do. Succulents are not that picky.
My succulents are in a cheap succulent soil from a supermarket. They're growing fine.

You can trim the dead flowers, no problem.
