Hi Morgan! It only posted one photo, so I'm not sure if it's the new pic or the old pic! 😛 Looking at your plant card photo and comparing it to the one photo that *did* post, I'm not seeing anything that jumps out at me. So I'll ask the standard questions when dealing with succulent issues:
- Is it getting sufficient light? Like many other succulents, chalk sticks need several hours of direct sun a day. Although based on the one photo in your post, it doesn't appear to be etiolated or "stretching" in search of more light. In which case we'll go to the next question...
- What is your watering schedule like? Specifically, are you allowing the soil to completely dry out between waterings? Again, based on the photo, I don't see any obvious signs of overwatering, like mushy/brown leaves. By the way, good choice on the terracotta pot, which helps soil dry out faster 😉
So I guess we're back to square one! Lol 😝 If you could post the other photo and/or elaborate on why you feel your chalk sticks is looking unwell, that would be helpful in getting to the bottom of things ☺️

As @TheConservator said they might just be limp? I have one too that’s doing the same thing it’s just so heavy it cascades out of the pot now and he’s just fine! I’ll try to send pics later on today
