You should have left it in the soil, water as normal plant - it has roots. Leave in good light and hopefully it will grow some offsets. This one didn't look that great either, but has 6 offshoots starting to grow:

Not all plants will, so you just have to wait and see.

There is always part that dries up. After all, it was cut.

Yes, leave it. If disturbed, it will not do anything. And as I said, some will not grow and keep shrivelling. I had some that didn't. What plant is it? This is xGraptoveria 'Fred Ives' and will grow from any part :) and quite fast:

rina,

your copper spoons are adorable! hubby has one. To be honest, I like the way yours looks as it branches off like that. Makes me wanna chop his and see what happens ;)

Thank you. I worried for few years about chopping it...Finally, it grew too tall and I had no choice. I cut it in about half, top rooted too. I also have couple of leaves growing plantlets, here is one:

Looks like letizia sedeveria.

Sorry to mention but....the rosette is planted way to deep inside the pot and it appears to be too big also, the pot that is. The mix looks dark and peaty, making it hold water. Do try and do a search above in the search box for a more suitable c/s mix......the most simple of which is half c/s mix and half perlite or pumice.

If you were using that pot for a bigger plant the soil level would need to be up to the imaginary line on the left of the pot where it's shape makes a shadow/colour change from light to dark below, no lower.

Thank you Karen, I'll get that sorted after I purchase some perlite. It's amazing how I learn more every time someone comments.

Lynn, how did the plant do? I am having the same struggles!

Help! I’m having a similar struggle. I live in Nevada and the temps on my porch reach a balmy 130. This plant was absolutely lovely and amazing (nope, not a clue as to what it is ... succulent) and suddenly I’ve lost leaves. The stems are turning bark/stick like and the leaves are falling off. I’m wondering if I’m over watering it. I’m from the East Coast, so if a plant wilts — water it! I’m not sure that’s true here with the temps and plant types. Any suggestions?!?

I wish I had taken a pick when it was lovely to help with identifying it ?!?! Thoughts?

Can't ID it at all...stem looks little bit as klanchoe stems do when mature, but do not assume that it is.

When plant gets like this - woody, leggy, neglected and similar, best is to rejuvenate it. It would be best to know what it is; I see some leaves. Could you take few photos from different angles and showing as much plant as possibel?

sorry! Thought I had attached the photo
