Hello everyone,

I have a common houseleek I got from my mum and kept in a yogurt plastic container (tiny thing with no holes at the bottom) for 2 months, and regularly watered it. Like once a week. Now it is in a big flower pot and I have removed all the rotten (and dry leaves). There are still brown spots on the lower leaves (hardly visible in the photo, but they are there) Will they disappear and the plant survive?

I assume (from what I have found on the internet) that I over-watered it and didnt provide a good enough flowerpot with waiter-draining soil in it.

Now...the plant is in a big flower pot, with regular black flower soil (that might not be ideal since it doesnt have the ability of draining water quickly, but I will stop watering it). The question is simple: will it survive? Will just the new leaves replace the ones that are rotten?

In the image the white, dry things next to the plant are the dry leaves I pulled out of the base. There are still a few, but they are still half alive. I dont want to rip that out of the base like this. Rather just wait till they dry off.
