Please help me save my plant.
This is my first succulent, and it is not doing well.
When I got this plant, it was BEAUTIFUL. It had these thick green luscious limbs that were were relaxed and spindly, pointing down and hanging over the edge of a different pot. I was told to water this once a week. The pot it was in had no hole in the bottom (for drainage) and since it was going to be an outdoor plant, I repotted it. I put it in cactus and succulent soil instead of general garden soil. It is outside in a full sun location. WHY DOES IT LOOK SO SAD AND DRIED UP AND RED??? Please halp. I am killing my baby.

I'm guessing this is an E. horrida. Maybe a cultivar. I'm thinking maybe water it a little more often and partial shade, but y'all know a lot more than I do so I wanted to ask you.

I kind of like the way it looks - but if they'd like it green, move it to partial shade. Might water a little more often when the weather is hot and dry, but it doesn't really look dehydrated, just sun-stressed.
