hi and thanks,
i have inspected them and had fairly recently repotted the plant(s) (i think
there is 1 plant -- i.e. there are 4 trunks / stems)
will repot in better mix -- think the sand is is too fine -- is perlite ok?
i watered them (it) 2 days ago ... the water does not go through the drain
hole (ever) -- they look a bit better (i think)
(the water has never gone through the pot)
thanks

Carefully inspect the plant for inspect damage. Repot the plant in a
a quality potting mix (such as Miracle Gro potting mix) with some sand
added and use a clay pot. During the repotting inspect the roots for
rot/insect damage. After repotting, keep out of the sun with no water
for 2 weeks, then maintain a watering schedule of 2 times a month. Do
not allow the plant to stand in a saucer of 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!
