#Haworthia lovers why is my Haworthia’s leaves falling off and why is coming out of the pot? How can I save because it’s one of my oldest and most important plants/succulents. #PlantsMakePeopleHappy
21ft to light, indirect
3” pot with drainage

Hello @Leafmealone31. I must say, that soil doesn't look appropriate. Succulents need a fast draining chunky/gritty mix with an amendment like perlite or the like. Judging from the soil, leaf drop, and general instability of the plant, I would say the roots have potentially rotted. If there is no root system, there's no overall support for the succulent, which would explain why it would fall/come out of the dirt. I would suggest unpotting and checking out the roots and stem for rot.
Hi @FairyFly thank you for the advice and I’ll be sure to check that out.
