I dont know if its a succulent, actually i know nothing about plants, i dont even know what its called
Also it hasnt grown since i got it, just been surviving but it feels like fragile now idk
It gets like no light
I try water it lightly but one time i did and the leaves decided to brown slightly underneath so i thought maybe it wasnt that thirsty??

it looks fine, albeit etiolated; it needs more light. don’t worry about the brown leaves at the bottom, succulents suck their old leaves back up. also, it looks like an echeveria
Looks overwatered + not at all enough light it is begging for light
substrate too dense and not enough light. these like 65% grit, the rest high quality soil, substrate.
I don’t meant this to sound patronising, but… have you looked anything up? Like, searched this group for “succulent tips” or asked a search engine for “basic beginner succulent care”?
There are VERY helpful resources you don’t have to wait for replies on, that will give you MORE and potentially better information. Take some initiative, have fun, and be proud of yourself for learning; Revive the long lost art of… going on a research deepdive!
These live in desert areas so think of what they are growing in there and try to create that with your soil. Agreed with everyone on the watering as I have killed many succulents the way you are watering them π¬. Lastly, the light. We will never have enough light coming in through normal windows that will make that thing happy. It needs to burn in actual direct sunlight or itβs just slowly (and prettily) dying. I would definitely get a grow light (they have a ton out there now) for this little guy to help.
The only succulent Iβve done well with is a jade and burrows tail and those are sketchy at best lol. Good luck to you!
It needs lots of light. All plants need light but this one needs LOTS of it because it’s a desert plant
Needs more light. Itβs stretching. Donβt stick into direct sunlight and cremate it but definitely more light than wherever itβs been living.
Overwatering, and that stretch growth is caused by low light.
