Please help idk what’s happening to my succulent leaves
I bought this plant months ago it had been severely overwatered when I got and once I saw it was fully recovered and needed water I gave it some and things seemed to go back to normal so I’ve been giving it water about every two weeks or so since then. The last time I gave it water was ab 4 days ago and I repotted it ab 2 days ago by that time the soil was still moist from when I had watered it and I noticed one of the leaves was weak and completely thin and flat which I’ve never experienced before when taking care of succulents it fell off in the process of repotting and upon inspecting the plant I also noticed a reddish ring on the underside of one of the healthier leaves and I’ve also never seen that before so I’m very confused I’ve included a picture of a leaf that fell off ab 2 days ago and I checked up on it today and the same leaf that had the red ring on it is starting to thin out too and I don’t know what to do please help 🙏🏼
3” pot with drainage
Last watered 4 weeks ago

@SWVSA looks like nothing more than one of the lowest leaves that's started to rot from the damp soil it was in when you got it. Even when they're not in overwatered conditions, the lowest leaves will routinely die off as a part of its normal growth cycle. Nothing to worry about, once they're shriveled up and dried out you can easily remove them. Repotting causes plants some stress, so it's possible more leaves will die off until it gets acclimated to its new environment. Just continue only watering when the soil is completely dried out and provide it with plenty of direct sunlight and it will eventually bounce back.
@stephonicle ah I see thank you so much! I do have one more question tho would it be a bad time to cut the stem off? it’s a little hard to see but in one of the pictures the bottom part of the stem is thinner than the upper part of the stem if that makes sense (I can provide a better picture if necessary) and the stem as a whole has gotten pretty tall, I usually cut them them when they get too tall to prevent it from tipping over and causing leaf damage but considering it’s still acclimating to the new soil and the leaves are flattening and all would it be a bad move or should I go ahead and do it?
@SWVSA do you mean cutting off the top? Like dead heading? I'm guessing what you mean about how you usually cut the top off is when they get leggy or stretched (known as etiolated) from insufficient sunlight...is that what you mean? Because this plant doesn't look etiolated at all. But yes, maybe some pics would be helpful lol
@stephonicle yeah I guess dead heading would be the right word here, but you’re right it’s not etiolated it’s just when I received it was overwatered and all the leaves had fallen off from the bottom and now there’s just a tall stem and it may not seem that tall in the picture but it does keep wanting to tip over
