Why is it turning yellow? May have been a little overwate...

#Echeveria
9ft to light, indirect
4” pot with drainage

If the leaves are soft and squishy then it’s been overwatered. Just remove the squishy leaves before they rot and let the soil dry out
Step 1 as Kate stated and then when you get ready to repot, I would recommend using cactus & succulent soil and supplementing with some additional perlite for drainage. Also, terracotta pots don’t hold moisture as much as plastic. Use a wooden chop stick or bamboo skewer to stick down into this bottom of the pot before watering again. If there is dirt on it when you pull it out, hold off on watering and recheck in a few days. Echeverias like a lot of light. May need grow lights this time of year to keep them from stretching. I think most of us have overwatered or killed a succulent or two in the process of learning to take care of them! Good luck! Keep us updated on your progress!
