Hello everyone!!
Im a new succulent mum and i desperately need your help.
Around half year ago i got this beautiful echeverias. They grow significantly and now they look like this. Im very concerned that they are too tight in the pot. I checked and their roots are not really large, so cant consider them rootbound but i think they are competing for too little space and that is affecting them. They also lost significant amount of leaves and I do not even know if thats normal or not.
If I need to repot them i larger space, can you suggest me what type or/size pot should I get or what are good websites for that (i live in western europe)? Each of them are around 10 cm diameter. Is it better to put them together or separately?
Sorry for asking so many questions but im panicking little bit 🥲

The rule of thumb for repotting is to use only 1-2 inches larger diameter than the plant. Reason being is that these guys don’t like to sit in water (they will rot) and keeping the pot appropriately small will ensure the soil dries after you water.
If you’re losing leaves, I’d check the soil. Naturally, these guys shed their old (lowest) leaves as they grow. However they can also lose leaves if they’re overwatered. If you check the base of the plants and see mushy, translucent leaves, that’s your sign that they’re being watered too much and/or the soil is holding moisture for too long.
