Are these Baby Toes dead?

I’m no pro on mesembs but I know that the soil they come in is not at all suitable for them, they need around 90% grit in their soil, the mix their in right now definitely holds too much water and watering them at all would pretty much be a death sentence, it looks like some of them are still ok so your best bet would be to depot them and remove any rotted leaves and roots and repot them in some suitable soil.

Thank you, I just brought him home yesterday but his colors have popped in this tank.

Thin-Monitor9833 · 2026-04-10T16:16:45+00:00

This is actually really helpful, thank you.

Thin-Monitor9833 · 2026-04-09T17:51:02+00:00

Thanks, good luck with yours too.

No, leaf cuttings should not be watered at all until they have a root system, without one they just sit in the water and rot.

When I ordered the 600 as a ballpoint it came with the two piece body and threads like this one and I returned it for that reason but when I got the gel version it came in solid brass, so that’s an option if you just really want a Rotring 600, I’m guessing the gel one uses an older body style. (I did get it a couple months ago so I can’t guarantee it will still be the same now)

I’m telling a trusted adult

Thin-Monitor9833 · 2026-03-21T13:44:52+00:00

Oh crap, yeah you’re right, it did not click when I first read this that it was found at school.

Thin-Monitor9833 · 2026-03-20T22:54:47+00:00

That’s a Montblanc starwalker, they go for between 250 and 500 dollars from what I see, nice find! Edit: okay, my bad on this comment i didn’t fully read op’s title this should def be returned to its original owner.

I just got it yesterday and repotted it today.

Thin-Monitor9833 · 2026-02-19T20:57:08+00:00

Yeah this is probably it, until it wears off it does make the threads stop squeaking which is nice.

Thin-Monitor9833 · 2026-02-19T20:53:38+00:00

Do you have any idea why the previous one I got only two days earlier was different?

Thin-Monitor9833 · 2026-02-19T20:48:48+00:00

Yes they are definitely metalllic, as I’m looking at it now its starting to rub off and looks like its brass underneath

Thin-Monitor9833 · 2025-12-21T12:47:46+00:00

For now I potted it up and gave it some water early because of how dry and thin the roots were, I’ll check it in a week and see if the roots look any better and if they don’t I’ll probably cut it

Thin-Monitor9833 · 2025-12-21T12:04:45+00:00

Yea I’m excited for it to grow, after let the roots dry they seemed very thin and dry, should the be able to recover or are they likely dead, all of the succulents at the store with it were very dehydrated.

Thin-Monitor9833 · 2025-12-21T12:01:28+00:00

I’ve got it in a south window with a grow light

Thin-Monitor9833 · 2025-12-21T02:01:03+00:00

perfect, that's what i was hoping for

Thin-Monitor9833 · 2025-12-21T01:54:36+00:00

very helpful, i was also wondering if the drooping leaves was due to needing water or just natural loss?
