@Zeketirtle That's too much, once a week is enough, the soil needs to be completely dry for 2-3 days before watering. Too much water will lead to root rot and the death of your plant, the rule of thumb for succulent is "less is better". When there's no more water in the soil, the plant will take the water in its leaves and make the roots tougher, then when you water them the leaves stock water back to normal level and wait for the next dry period. If you give too much water, the leaves take too much water leading to the yellowing and death of the leaf and the excess of water could rot the roots which like to be dry. I hope I made myself clear as english is not my mothertongue ;)

@Naisk I water them about 3-4 times a week. They get probably 6-7 hours of sun a day. Should I give the evecheveria a break for a day or two? Thanks for responding!

Welcome! At which frequency do you water them? The evecheveria seems a bit overwatered that's why lower leaves turn yellow.
