Why does my Elephant Bush have wrinkly leaves?

I watered her yesterday in hopes it would resolve. #elephantbush #succulentsquad

I wouldn’t worry if it’s just a few of the bottom leaves. They will shrivel and drop as new leaves grow.

I think it might need some water. Check to make sure your soil hasn’t become hydrophobic or compacted the plant isn’t able to absorb nutrients or water when that happens.

@TidyTigerpear The soil is very loose, and I did give her a lot of water recently!

@LittleSongbird you should be good to go ! Leaf drop is normal towards the bottom normally
