I really need some help!!! I've had this little baby just a few months. It was doing really good at first in my office with 0 sun, watered like twice & it bloomed out of no where & now its dying or going dormant I guess ? Can someone tell me what kind of succulent this is ? And how to help it ? Pictures are from when I first got it & a few weeks after. Now it's taller & the underneath leaves are dying. I cut the dead leaves. Put it in the window to get sun. Idk what to do bc I don't know what kind of plant it is. TIA !! ❤️

I believe that may be an Echeveria.

The cactus & succulent forum would be a good option:

It's an Echeveria of some kind.

It's stretching because it badly needs more light. They should stay a compact rosette if given the proper amount of light. Echies especially like to have a lot of light. They stretch really fast if there isn't enough.
Also, does the pot have a drainage hole in it? Succulents need to be potted in a fast draining soil mix, and in a container with a drainage hole. They'll rot very fast if the excess water can't escape, or if the soil holds water for too long.

It is normal for the lower leaves on Echies to die off over time. New ones will continue to grow to replace them.

Good points there. The plant needs more light and a bigger container.

Please follow the excellent advice you have been given. If you decide to repot i would gently remove any dead lower leaves.

After the repot don't water for a week or so to let the plant heal any roots you may have damaged during the process. Where are you based?can you get it in a south facing window?

If you want detail on proper watering and soil check out the two threads at the top of the forum

good luck and let us know how you go on.

There is also a thread on this type of plant here. (Where you can see what they can look like )
