Hi I’m relatively new to plants but my bf got me a succulent a couple months ago. I just recently moved it to the outside as its summer right now and my ac is where it was sitting,it was doing good indoors but now that it’s outdoors it’s starting to struggle any advice or help would be great!😁 also was just repotted as of Saturday
It is dying because there was too big of a contrast in climate. usually you acclimate it slowly. I would bring it back inside

The pot is too big, echeverias have shallow roots, so the need shallow pots with drainage hole. Just put her in a pot with soil until the edges, so she is completely outside it. Use a succulent mix soil or any soil that doesn’t retain water. Your plant seems overwatered, if leaves, at least few, are squishy, it is the case, and it’s the most dangerous condition for a succulent, it brings to roots rot. So check it out. Watering is simple: water only when soil is bone dry and leaves start shriveling. Drought doesn’t kill, so don’t worry about that. Add water slowly, give to soil the time to absorb it, and keep watering until water hours out from the drainage hole. The point is that when you water, you have to do it deeply, you can’t put too much water because holes will let go away the excess. You will never kill your plant this way, you will if you water too often, if soil is not bone dry between waterings, if plant stay always humid. Depends on where you live, but if outside it’s too hot, consider to keep her in full sun only in the morning, usually succulents need several weeks to acclimate outside, and the perfect period is spring. I live in Georgia and all mine are indoor because the can’t survive in a pot outside, it’s like Hell 🤣 Find a south facing window and se will thrive indoor. Good luck and happy planting 😊
