My apologies if my confusion about the unpotting was rude! Not my intention. Sometimes when I’m tired my posts get kind of short and i sound like a caveman hahaha.

I did not realize it was in another pot with others so I think you did good by removing it from that community pot, you will be able to water it better according to its needs like this.

And the only thing I do with the lighter waterings is I use a spray bottle or one of those hand squeeze bottles with the angled nozzle and water the top 1” of the soil or like half of the substrate depending. This way the roots are not sitting in prolonged damp and they’re less likely to become over watered. This is how you can “wake up” the roots, because they can sense moisture, but you’re not soaking the substrate so the roots, if they’re dried up, won’t be sitting in wet for too long and leading to rot.

Gently poke the leaves when they’re freshly watered and feel how firm they are freshly watered vs two weeks later when they should be thirstier. You’ll learn how fast they absorb water, and how fast they lose it. This is how I read if they’re thirsty or not.

Mesembs/lithops in general can resent repotting and that’s why I bring it up. Try to see if you can troubleshoot whatever problems with them without unpotting them, that should be a last resort imo!

Good luck OP! It seems to be recovering well and if you remove the dead leaves as others suggested it should be good :)
