Both my mom and I have had trouble with this type of succulent. It drops leaves every day, I repotted it to see if that was the problem and it just keeps dropping leaves. Any tips on saving it?

I would suggest potting it in something with drainage. That glass jar is cute but it’s not allowing the soil or roots to properly dry out between watering. Succulents prefer dryness! Terracotta pots are good for succulents and are usually pretty cheap at dollar stores this time of year 👍🏻

Hi!! I have a few ideas . . .  
1\. You could try giving it full sunlight if u haven’t already tried that!  
2\. I think that might be an outdoor plant!! So if you have a window you could put it on outside of the house it might do better but you might need to water it more often!  
Hope this helps \<3

Succulents can be indoors or outdoors. Where you place it does not matter.

The problem is that it is in a glass jar without drainage and the soil will 100% be retaining too much water. You should repot it into a clay pot with drainage holes.

Also, it is growing tall with a lot of space between leaves. It needs more light.
