Hi everyone!
Basically new(?) Echeveria owner here! Like, i got one and when i got the hang of it i got 2 more, as well as 2 alloes (not verra) and 1 unindentified suculent.
I had a beautiful Echeveria Pearl of Nuremberg (My first Echeveria 🙁 ! First photo), but i went on hollydays for one month with my dad and she died (even tho i asked my mother to take care of Her because she's more thirsty than the others…).
Like she was like a brown stick with only Her head and one leaf intact :(. Good news tho, i saw the head and the leaf had made fushia root thingies, so i removed Her dead body and putted them in the same pot as before (and tonight i putted a bit of water because i thought they were drying out, but only a lil bit 'cause i dont wanna down them).
Im kinda clueless on his to make them grow healthy, so any help would be awesome!
Thanks ya'll for reading!

Soil water sunlight, control these three things and they will thrive.
Soil = quick draining and quick drying: mimic their natural environment of dry arid mountains. The soil in the 2nd picture is too dense/organic which is holding moisture and drowning the roots. Unpot it ASAP and dry out thr roots in open air.
Water, only water, when the plant shows signs of thirst. This typically is the lower leaves being consumed/feels soft like a gummy bear. When this is the condition and soil is completely dried, it is safe to deep water/soak once and put into the maximize amount of sun light as possible and don’t water again (usually weeks to a month depending on the level of sun vs humidity vs air/wind). This depends if the plant is indoor or outdoors.
Sunlight, as much as possible. Get a grow light if you can’t provide adequate direct sunlight.
Master these three things, you can grow any succulents/cacti. Glhf.
PS, your mom likely over watered it. These can survive months of drought in the wild.
