Sorry for the spam messaging but I’m wondering…. What do you mean by too large of a pot? Also this was initially a cutting from my moms plant. Can you propagate a succulent?

If you took the plant out and the roots don’t take up most of the room, the pot is too big. Pots should only be 1-2 inches larger than the rootball! You can propagate succulents but that one produces pups (meaning it produces small versions of itself that you can propagate)

Pot looks too big and soil is too organic for my taste. Use something like 1/3 Pumice, 1/3 a good soil (fox farms ocean forest if you want really good) and then add some perlite.
