Transplanted my new girly in a terracotta pot, cactus soil and watered thoroughly! For now she’s in the kitchen, but i have no window spot with light so I may take her outside some? Any tips for my Echeveria?

I find a covered patio, part sun, works best for mine because I can control the watering (can’t control the rain. Also, if they don’t get enough sun they can get lanky.

Yay! Glad you repotted. She’ll be much happier with the terracotta + drainage

I did! And I pulled off the loose dead leaves at the bottom close to the stem. I can see the stem now, looks very healthy!
