Is it possible to save it?
Hi, my Gasteria Duval has grown quite a lot since I bought it and I wasn't sure if the growth is normal. I have looked at an old picture and it apparently doesn't look like it used to, so I guess it isn't supposed to look like this 😅
(This was my first plant, so I had no idea about how to take care of it properly).
Some leaves are very thin (look dried out?) and the old texture ist mostly gone. The plant is also much lighter than in the beginning.
I have the following ideas:
- it got too little light
- probably needs a much bigger pot and more soil
Would you suggest other things or is the plant a hopeless case by now?

Under-watering symptoms include drooping leaves, stunted growth, and drying leaves; these can be a range of different issues, including forgetfulness, too much sunlight, or the plant being pot-bound. Over-watering symptoms include root rot, a rotting base, or sudden plant death. I would definitely repot in something a tad bigger with more soil, water, then see what happens. Best of luck to you and your 🪴
