What’s happening??

I am a new plant person and I was wondering if my succulent is supposed to be dropping a bunch of it’s things, or if I need to do something different to fix it
Also if i am on the free version off the app will it tell me if I need to water my plants?
It will but sometimes the plants don’t need when they tell you to water. Your pot is good for that plant and should be in succulent/cactus soil. Looks like it’s been over watered. It should be watered about every 14 days or not till the soil is completely dry
It looks like you definitely overwatered! I can also see water droplets on the succulent itself which can cause the leaves to rot! Make sure to only water from the top of the pot/soil or groundwater. You may also be experiencing root rot from the overwatering, which is common especially for succulents(I have killed so many from root rot via overwatering!!) so look up what to do for root rot and learn how to assess and take care of the damage from there! P.S,: if your stem on the succulent isn’t green, it probably isn’t alive anymore and I would recccomend attempting to propagate the leaves! But I would do your own research on that specific one before calling it quits!
@Sequoia-trees for most succulents you water only when the soil is dry! It varies based on what light you have it under, the humidity + temp in the room, etc. if I’m wondering I’ll stick a wooden skewer or toothpick directly into the soil to test and if it’s dry coming out then I’ll water. It is helpful to track how often you water though so under the plant you watered profile on this app you should be able to add notes on a timeline near the bottom! I always do that just if I’m wondering and don’t have the time to skewer it to tell if it’s close to watering time or not! :)
