This poor thing.. I killed it about 10000000 times. I just didn’t have the heart to quit. I just looked- I’ve ignored it for a while and there’s this.. how do I let this baby start over with the new growth and get rid of the ruined parts?

1 like It was a Echeveria 'Dusty Rose' 🫣 so just clip the new little plant off and keep it?
0 likes Oooooooh I see LOL it looked so much bigger so I though it was a massive paddle plant but now that you mention it I definitely see I was wrong HAHA. Yes, clip off and stick it in dry succulent soil and it should root, at that point you can water it :)
1 like Is that scale on the old leaves?? Or scars?
1 like Scars. Like from being too dry and brittle and cracking in spots.

You could have forgotten about it completely and never watered it, but the old leaves give energy to grow a new plant when it’s under a ton of stress
