My little guy lost a limb today I just noticed. Does anyone know what happened or how I can help them survive moving forward? The rest of them seems to be in ok shape

I’m not sure but my Echeveria lost some leaves the other day, I’m just seeing if it continues before tying anything

my guess is it’s rootbound or it suffered some drought. most echeveria species’ lower leaves will drop readily
