Here are two pictures of my succulent that I received about two months ago or so. I water it thoroughly, and try to get it some sunlight now and then by a window, but it's bottom leaves are yellowing and becoming soft. I'm wondering what I should do to revive it? I'm new to succulent care, just heard that they are pretty easy to keep alive, and confused why mine is dying...but I definitely want to save it! Open to any suggestions and advice! Also, the pot does have good drainage.

Succulents don't need very much to be happy. Your plant is stretching in an effort to find light - help it out by finding a place for it to live that always has good, bright light.

Water when the soil is dry, not before.

Yes Daisy is right, sunlight "now and again" is not good for these plants. It looks like a type of Echeveria which needs to be in the sunniest window you have, particularly in winter.

It won't need a lot of water. You should water it thoroughly but then let it pretty much dry out between waterings.

Thank you for your responses! Good to know what kind of succulent it looks like and that it requires much more sunlight than it's been getting. I'll search out a nice sunny window for it to live in until I get a better set-up going for my indoor plants. Out of curiosity, I'm wondering if overcast weather would still provide an adequate amount of light for this succulent or if it would need more. Since it's a succulent and they don't need too much effort put into them, I'm thinking a grow light would be too much?

I have many cacti and succulents on grow lights. Most of them love it! Cloudy weather in front of windows can't be an adequate amount of light for them. If you can give them more light, do it.

I'll be putting them under the grow light then! Thank you for all the help!

Looks Like E.Topsy Turvy, these guys can take some serious abuse, full sun and no water, thats how I grow mine, they form real tight cluster rosettes. Etiolation will occur with insufficient natural light.

I looked up a picture of the E.Topsy Turvy plants, and that looks about right! Also looked into etiolation, which is exactly the answer I was looking for. Now I know that insufficient light is the issue and the poor thing is stretching for light. I'll be more attentive to getting it as much light as possible and watching for improvement!

Good luck with it!

Yes, you have been given some good advice. This plant will be a very bright white in strong light, like many glaucous succulents, and that is as good an indicator as any of sufficient light. The plant should "see" the sun for hours each day year round, ideally.

Your plant will need a bigger pot come spring.

I'm looking forward to seeing my plant look bright and healthy.

My succulent garden is doing great, go great that I have 2 giants that I would like advice in how to trim them back.
