What do I do now?

This is Sera, I just repotted her last night after letting her sit out of her pot while I was out of the house for five-ish or more hours with her stem dusted with cinnamon as @ITalk2Plants, @LightBlueginger, and @stephonicle told me to do in my last post yester, and because she was so small her stem got way too wrinkled and super super dry, so I just decided to put her back and hope for her to be okay, shiould i just leave her, or what do i do now?

When I’m rooting succulents like this I put them in dry soil for a couple of days and then water with the drough and flood method. I let the soil dry out between watering but I water the second they are dry, I don’t wait. It’s a balancing act with them. They need water but too much wet soil & they rot. Good luck πŸ’šπŸŒ±
Ok, I'm going to tell it to you straight Lyra. At this point you need to just let her be. She's a tiny, very delicate baby plant, and all this handling and moving is only causing her further stress.

Sometimes in our efforts to help our plants, we end up doing too much. When I have babies fall off my mother of thousands or other kalanchoe plants (they grow tiny babies along the edges of their leaves), I literally toss them in a dish, set them off to the side, and forget about them. No soil, no water, no cinnamon, very little lightβ€”and they still grow roots πŸ˜› Plants have been surviving and thriving for millions of years without interference from us. Sometimes the best way to help them is to take a step back and just let them do their plant thing πŸ˜‰πŸ’š
@Azplantchic it's hard to tell from the photo, but this is a VERY tiny baby plant.
@stephonicle yes I understand. I agree what you are saying. Just let it be and give the usual care, which is water throughly when dry.
