I’ve had things like this happen to Echeveria. Personally I would cut right under the rosette.

It could be perfectly fine and turning the Echeveria into a cutting could be completely unnecessary, but it’s better to be safe than sorry. I’ve had Echeveria get little bits of rot in the stem and go unnoticed until the plant starts falling apart. Plus Echeveria respond well to beheading and it won’t set you back much when it comes to the top growth because it’s the perfect time to behead anyways;). This is of course if you live in the northern hemisphere.

Ok so I beheaded it yesterday and letting it callus over and hoping for some new roots to grow before repotting. Hopefully it’s survives out of the pot for the week as I’m going on vacation and the poor thing has been bone dry since buying it. Thank you for the advice!

You know what I forgot to add, put the callused cutting in an empty plastic pot. Sometimes if you leave cuttings like Echeveria laying on their side they can loose their shape. Especially ones with big floppy leaves.

Like this;)

Keep dry in the shade while your gone, and your cutting will be fine. Hopefully there will be roots when you come back;)!

stem rot, actually.
