Can I save my succulent? LIPSTICK ACHEVERIA

Hello!
I've had this lipstick acheveria for about a year now. She used to be huge and due to over watering, all the outer leaves fell off and I'm left with this teeny tiny plant.
I would really like to save it, as it holds a lot of sentimental meaning to me.
I will attach a picture of what it used to look like compared to what it looks like now :(
Does anybody have any advice on how I can regrow roots and save this plant?
Thank you so much!

Let the cut end dry off and then put it in some gritty compost.

 

Hi @Amylouise97 , welcome to the forum!
Your Echeveria should be just fine, like Michael Hewett said, plant it up in gritty soil and off it goes. New roots will form from the bottom and from between the lowest leaves and the plant will make side shoots over the summer.

At this time of the year I root succulent cuttings by potting them up and leaving on the garden table. It's too tempting to water them so a gentle neglect with exposure to some rain works better for me.

Going forward, the plant will need a bright spot, a small pot with drainage holes and water only when the compost is dry (plunk your finger in it to test). The main rosette may die after a while but the babies will romp on.

 

I find it best to stand the pot in a dish of water for a while, until the compost becomes slightly moist. Then let it dry out before repeating the process.

 

Another way I do it is to not actually water after the first watering but spray a couple of times a day.
Everyone has their own way that works best for them, just avoid it staying wet for long periods as it will rot.
