that looks similar to baby toes(i may be wrong so make sure to do a little bit of googling), which is a type of succulent that grows and hangs down. my baby toes plant likes lots of sun, and i have it planted alongside another succulent right now. they are pretty tolerant, but they fall apart very easy. their little “toes” can come off from the lightest of touch, but you can throw them back into the soil and sometimes they will grow a root of their own :) again, i could be wrong on the type of plant, that’s just what it looked like from the picture

Looks like a donkey tail- not a baby toes.

Overall, the plant looks pretty healthy to me! The only problem area seems to be the end of the right side. It looks very dried out. Unfortunately, it cannot be revived but if you cut that section off, it shouldn’t affect the rest of the plant negatively.

It’s a donkeys tail. Beautiful plant but does not like to be moved!

Looks OK. Carefully remove the dead portion with very sharp manicue scissors. You may get new growth if the cut us clean. That plant looks fine. Remember to be gentle.
