thanks for replying...
what have i left out?
(they don't have pests; they are in the same place (light-wise) that they were
in when i got them? -- they are showing new growth)

HOWEVER, i'm not soaking them (i.e. the h2o doesn't go through the drainage
hole)
i watered it / them 2 d/a (not soaking) and they (i think 'they' are 1 plant
-- 4 stems) look a bit better... (plus there is growth)

thanks for posting the Web site...
i'll repot it (also read on the site to use 2 parts drain material: 1 part mix
(is perlite ok?))
(is there any sense in pruning them (it)?)

You are not telling us enough to have any idea what you may be doing wrong.

Try repotting it in a pot with soil and water thoroughly when you water.

hi,
have had it for 4 or 5 years.... in sand...
wrinkled leaves (on bottom of branches) the sand mix is dry... i water ~
once / week....
should i cut off some of the tops? i don't know whether they need more
water -- or are getting too much? (the wrinkling does not seem to relate
to watering)
i have some jade plants (cloned) (very early stages) (in the same
location) and they get A LOT of water (same frequency) -- they are doing
well... (same mix)
any advice (pertaining to the plant would be greatly appreciated!
thanks!
