OrchidBob said: This plant is Senecio haworthiodies. The lower leaves do normally shrivel up and dry out. Repot it when you get the pearlite which you need for better drainage. Like Daisy said one does not water for a week after repoting.
When spring comes and the plant is happier with good growth on the top you can consider cutting off the good top to restart the plant. These plants always get leggy for me and I find myself beheading them almost every year. They do like bright light to full sun. Most other Haworthias prefer shade.


Thank you! That's what I thought it looked most like. Maybe it just looks odd because it's so sick. Hopefully it will recover and plump up again. I can't wait for spring to come so I can take plants outside.
