Black spots on the leaves????

#Echeveria I’ve had the most trouble out of this plant. There are black spots on the leaves near the stem. Some of the leaves have fallen/shriveled up. And there are weird pink roots near the bottom. There were mites on her as well but I have been spraying neem oil

The pink roots are a normal part of the plants growth! You can just cover them with soil and they’ll continue to grow. The black spots are probably the wounds from where the mites where using their proboscis to suck the plant juice and she’s most likely also still stressed and recovering from the infestation. As long as there is new growth in the center i wouldn’t worry too much and just give her some time to recover. 😊
@JoshsGreenThumb thank you, and a couple of days ago my cat knocked her over😭
