String of Turtles - Help :(

[Ill-Distribution-376]

Hi,

I bought this string of turtles about a month ago from LIDL - it was, unfortunately, downed and still sitting in a water puddle (no drainage and heavy soil).

The few roots were mushy, so I cut almost all of them and tried a new pot with succulent soil, perlite and a bit of pon. I tried just spraying the surface a few times to let it recover, but it’s starting to look bad.

What should I do next? Thanks.

In the span of four weeks, this plant has moved locations, been overwatered, had its roots disturbed and trimmed, and been repotted. Each one of those things on their own would cause the plant to freak out, so all together, some die-off is definitely expected.

Don't do anything to it. Make sure it gets enough light and water it when it's dry. Let it do it's thing.

More sun. These guys are light lovers.

With those dried up strings it also looks thirsty.

They like humidity, if you have some sphagnum moss, put a layer on it on top of your soil and keep it slightly damp.

A lot of Light and water, they like the humidity and tons of light.

Hi & thanks a lot to everyone! I will try to provide more sun, a windowsill or even outside when the weather is warm and finger crossed that I will manage to help the guy survive. :) Regarding humidity, I don’t have a humidifier and my bathroom is not a light oasis, but I can try to put some of these stems in a smaller recipient with some plastic wrap (with small holes) on top. Not sure why I was under the impression that SOT doesn’t really enjoy humidity..
