Mine looks like that too because I have it in direct sun, but only during the summer has it looked shriveled. Are you checking the soil to make sure it’s getting enough water? Could be drying out faster if it’s hot.

I would check it every couple days to see how quickly it’s drying out. Because it’s in a small pot it’s going to dry out quicker.

Mine was shrivel-y and on its way to looking like this when I first got it, but perked up after getting a good watering. Agree with @teacher12, check the soil to see if it’s dry.

The current soil mix looks pretty mossy/water retaining to me, so root rot is a risk if you do increase watering. You could try adding a bit of perlite to the mix to help with draining any excess water, that way the current concern’s solution doesn’t create a new issue. 😂
