Echeveria purpusorum dying?
I ordered a 6-pack of mini succulents a few weeks ago. I repotted them in succulent mix and have watered once according to Greg's suggestions. Yesterday, I noticed many of the lower leaves are shriveled and black. Any idea what could be wrong with my little plant?

Mornin, Erin! I'm sorry you're having issues with your new plants. Let see if we can help. (:
Did the water come out the bottom when you watered the plants? Is the soil still moist?
To me, the leaves look like they got too much water at one point. These little plants LOVE to be dry.
Also, when you first start using Greg, use the notifications as suggestions, not commands. Sometimes, during the first month or so of caring for a plant, you'll need to "snooze" the plant instead of water.
Also, the amounts might be off if the plant card doesn't have all the info filled out (which is information only- it looks like you have the card lookin good!).

And, these guys LOVE sun. If they are sitting 3.5 feet from the light, I'd consider inching them closer over the next few days until the sun is kissing the leaves. The more sun, the more they'll grow. The less sun, the more the bottom leaves will fall off and the stem will stretch towards the light.
I keep many of my succs in a western window right on the sill.
