It kind of looks like it’s had either too much water or not enough sunlight. I’m not the best with succulents, but the leaf ends look like they’re sort of mushy and drooping.

You’ll need to (TW) prune her sadly 😭 I’m attaching a perfect how to image!

just be sure to let the top cutting callous over. or should take a couple days. it will help it not rot. after its calloused over, just put it directly back in the soil. so easy!

they do this growing towards the light. be sure it’s getting direct sunlight. and yes, you’ll have to chop her but I’ve done this, and it works! super easy to propagate.
