Those leaves look overwatered, try waiting for the soil to dry before watering once a week!

Thank you Ivy, ah yes I’ve been overwatering it I guess. Will monitor it closely! x

Yep, overwatered. Pull those bottom leaves off because they won’t repair themselves.

You need to unpot it so you can see if the stem is mushy too. If the stem is mushy, reply to my comment with a picture of the side profile of the plant and I’ll walk you through options.

If the stem isn’t mushy, put it in dry chunky soil. Also change pots if it doesn’t have a drain hole. Going forward, they need to look at the plant for signs of needing water before they water. Absolutely don’t water if the dirt isn’t 100% dry, but it still doesn’t need water right away then. Succulents store water in their leaves so they don’t need to store water in the dirt. They like to live in dry dirt between waterings. Look at the lower leaves to see when they feel less firm. When they do, then you water. The plant should suck up the water within a day and sit in dry dirt until next time.

If it stays wet longer than that then it’s in too big of a pot, wrong dirt, no drainage hole, needs more airflow, or was watered too soon (before it showed signs of needing water).

Thank you so much, it makes sense because I’ve been watering the small pot every week and it doesn’t have a drainage hole. I will change the pot tomorrow morning. Thanks a lot! :)

I miss read and thought you said it was your friend’s plant so ignore the “going forward they should” part.😄

I figured that hehe 😄

If you have a plastic nursery pot that would fit inside, you could repot into there and then still enjoy the pretty pot. 😊 Just pull it out to water it and let it drip for a bit before placing it back. Also, don’t skimp on the watering when you do water because it still needs a thorough watering to make sure all the roots get water. Just wait long enough in between. Over watering isn’t caused by too much water at once, but by watering too often.
