It may be the watering! I’d recommend a really good deep water once the top half or so of the soil is dry. They’re succulents so they’re more adapted to infrequent but large amounts of watering (kind of like a deserts storms). My SOP is a baby still but my SOH gets watered about once every three weeks.

Don’t do a water schedule because you end up watering it too often. You need to water only when it’s thirsty. When it dries out you can tell because the “window” on the leaves will start to shrivel.
That’s when you water it. And you soak it (ideally let it soak up everything from the bottom and leave it until you feel the soil is wet at the top.)
Over watering = watering too often (it’s NOT based on the amount of water you give it in one watering session)
