She said all you've got to do is put it in the soil and leave it, and it will grow...but I'm not too sure it's doing well either. I'm not even sure what type of succulent it is...but it looks like a Crassulaceae.

Help me out here. Where are you located? The woman is correct. Just lay the cutting in contact with the soil in a medium (dappled) shade location and water ONLY when the soil appears dry on the surface. The cutting should send out roots. I just rooted 8 cuttings of Opuntia (Prickly Pear) and set them out. I was surprised by the volume of roots they had sent out in a month.
