she was doing well, flowering and produced a new stalk as well (she came with 2 stalks)- stalks have since stopped flowering and have only seed pods on them - she is on a drip with other succulents with 1 gallon emitter every 7 days - I have been giving supplemental water once during that 7 day period to help her get established - so her actual water was probably once every 4 days.

About 4 weeks ago noticed the base of some of the leaves yellowing, thought I would watch and see - went out of state for about 2 weeks and came back the other day to alot of yellowing of leaves, during this two week period she was just on the drip every 7 days - As well one of the clumps seems to be leaning like it is ready to fall over - so not firm in ground anymore - she gets full sun most of the day, with a few hours of shade here and there depending on the placement of the sun (shadows from house and trees)

Can't figure out if it is too much, too little water, sunburn, lack of nutrients - have searched and searched all over web and have found nothing about this. Just read about how hardy they are.

Any help or links to answers appreciated

Go tug on the core leaves. If they come off in your hand, it's a goner. If they don't, soak it with 15-20 gallons of water ans see what happens.

A 5-gallon plant needs more than 1 gallon of water a week to get established. My schedule for establishing drought tolerant plants - which I plant in early spring - is to fill the hole and let it soak in a couple of times to get a deposit of water below the roots.

Then I soak it thoroughly by applying several gallons of water a couple of times a week for the first month or two, then drop to once a week, still soaking thoroughly with plenty of water ... all through the first summer.
