Can wrinkly leaves be a sign of root rot in succulents?
I am having a hard time keeping leaves on the stalk, they are very delicate and the lightest touch and they fall off.

It certainly can! Rot can spread from the roots to the leaves making them fall off OR root rot kills the roots so they cannot take in water and the leaves actually dry and fall off. Either way, check your roots. Be sure that you're using pots with drainage holes and gritty, well-draining soil. Grow them in lots of sun or on a sunny window sill. And only water after the soil is completely dry and the leaves start to feel limp (when in doubt, keep waiting).
