@KeyEarthalmond Are you able to give it a look over? Gently lift the leaves to look at the stem and maybe move some dirt to the side to see if you can tell if the stem is starting to rot?
If you only got it a few days ago then hm… My first concern would be if it was overwatered and that’s causing rotting in the roots. Some signs of overwatering are:
-Squishy, yellow, translucent leaves that easy fall off
-Rotting roots and stem (they’ll be black and falling apart)
From what I can see, the plant looks okay, so I’m not sure if that’s what the issue is unless it’s just in the very early stages of overwatering. I would be on the look out for it and a few things you can do to make sure you’re keeping your plant well is to:
- Make sure it’s in a pot with drainage
- Have it in soil made for succulents so that it drains well and dries out well
- Only water the plant when the soil is COMPLETELY dried out, usually the plant shows signs of thirst by having slightly wrinkled leaves as well
-Keep the plant in a bright, sunny spot, but be careful of too much direct light as this can burn the plant
