Shes beautiful! Just follow plantas advise and youll do great. Dont worry about the soil as long as its draining well.

Have to disagree with this ☝️ substrate is going to make a huge difference btwn this plant struggling and thriving. Gently free the roots of that soil and repot in a GRITTY (think rocks, perlite, barky, grit with less soil; use 40% cactus/succulent soil). Also lots of light then more lol good luck!

I’ve considered repotting her but was letting her adjust to my place. Thank you o will consider all these great tips.

Dont follow plantas water advice please- you will drown it. Follow the signs from the plant and the soil. I have a couple of these and they seem to flourish in bright indirect sun rather than direct like other succulents. So pulled a bit back from the window rather than directly in the window- mine did better after pulling it back some.
