Should I repot the new healthy growth?

I have a different kind of echeveria that was a little bit like this, and I didn’t chop it or anything. I just let it grow. The healthy new growth replaced the old sad leaves. As it grew, it sort of pushed them down and they withered away, and now you’d never know it ever looked like that at all. It seemed that the plant knew those leaves were sad, and once it got better ones, it put its energy into the better leaves, and let the bad ones senesce and die off. The ones that have the farina all rubbed off and such don’t work as well for the plant (photosynthesis, water retention, etc) so the plant will trade them in for better leaves once it is able to. But, it’s up to you. If you don’t want to wait to see how the plant does, you could try to chop and prop.
I think it’s entirely up to you if you want to remove old or keep. It all depends on what you’re going for aesthetically because it will do great either way. Because you’ve already found the magical spot and water system. Go with a smaller pristine plant or a bigger one with some flaws and age. Congrats on bringing it back!
What did you change to get this beautiful new growth? 😍 so amazing!
