help! i posted this in the pests, diseases, and problems circle but I figured I would post here as well. attached as a picture of what I believe is a cobweb houseleek. it is very spindly and had browning leaves and I'm not sure why. i haven't watered in about a week and a half and I never water less than two weeks apart. it gets plenty of sun on my south facing window sill. thank you and let me know if you have any suggestions!

Mine has brown leafs a lot too it’s pretty normal they lose leaves (on the bottom ) those yellowish leafs look overwatered so try not too

The spindly growth is a sign that it wants more light. (Some parts of it seem fine, so maybe rotate it occasionally to make sure all sides get enough light) As for the yellowing leaves, it seems to be coming from the bottom up, so I'd check for root rot
