Yeah I don't live in a very sunny county, but I will definitely try and place it closer to the window. (I don't have a windowsill). Thank you so much!

Bigger problem is that plant seems to be very wet. If not already, it may start rotting. If my plant, I would take it out of its pot, get rid of all old soil. Inspect the roots - if it was sitting in wet soil for a long time, they may have rotted. All damaged roots should be cut off. But check the stems first, try to feel if they are soft or not. If soft, they could be also rotting. Any rotted parts should be cut off too.

If you clean roots off, take a pic and post here.

And, could you indicate what part of world are you in?

The soil itself is no longer wet, I think the plant soaked it all up! I'll definitely check the roots cause I would love for this little one to survive :).

Also, I live in the Netherlands. It has been nonstop clouds and storms here for the past weeks...

We have few members here from Netherland. I heard that you had big storms recently. It is gloomy here too, and not much light for succulents.

Yes :) That is correct. I've placed it in a bookshelf near my window now, where the sun should shine -- if it shines! haha! I'll have to wait till tomorrow to check the roots sadly, hope it won't be too late.

Best if you sit the inner pot on a spare saucer or similar so when it’s waterd you can see if there’s any run off which needs to be thrown away. It may have sat in water inside that tight outer pot for longer than it should making it stay wet. Also there is no air circulation with the outer pot being so close fitting :-)

That sounds like a good idea! I'm not the best with plants, haha. One of the reasons I gotta wait till tomorrow is because I wanted to get a bigger pot already, the saucer idea is definitely a great idea too. Thank you!

Looks like you need some perlite too, it needs a fast draining mix. 50%-60% of seived perlite, handful of grit such as aquarium substrate or similar size will also help, rest can be good c/s mix. Some dont even use a c/s mix, just the inorganics.

This is probably a newbie question, but does it go on top or bottom? or just mixed through the soil?

All ingredients should be mixed thoroughly, no layers of different substrates.

Amazing, thank you both so much!

Newbie question...yes, but a sensible one! Never be afraid to ask. We all start as newbies...and some of us are still learning from the wise ones here!

Couple of tips for a newcomer.

Easy way to mix up soil is using an old coffee can.

One can put 1 cup of C&S mix & 1 cup of Perlite or Pumice together in the can, close the can & shake it up. Or use a plastic or paper bag that you can close & shake, which mixes it well.

I cut several rounds of newspaper or just tear some small pieces of it, & place them inside the empty pot to keep the soil from leaking out.

Based on what you typed and what I'm seeing in the picture I'm concerned that the main base stem may have rotted. The color at the bases of the branches looks odd but I don't have a good view of the main stem at the base.

I do not have a coffeepot, but I do have a plastic bag, haha! Thanks for the tip.

A little update: The stem was completely mush, and almost just flat. I'm not sure I did the right things now but I took of the branches and put them somewhere safe, not in any soil at the moment.

(I really have no clue what I'm doing at this point.)

Completely mushy is no good. It have rotted. How about individual sections/branches? They look same to me, very yellowish - waterlogged. Are they very soft too?

They are pretty soft, yes. That is bad new, right?

Yes, usually rot.

You can just feel it and the color is very much telling too...but if unsure, take a branch and start cutting thinner slices from the bottom to see what the flesh looks like. If very soft, you may not be able to get clean cut. Use a blade, scissors or pruning shears will just squish it.

If you find firm flesh, there is a chance that it could be rooted - few of the stems may have some viable parts. The longer, thicker stem on left seems to have yellow tip too -BUT very light color could be caused by plant being shaded too much for a while. I am assuming rot since the main stem was rotted, and being able to see only photos.

Yeah. I'm not super hopeful with this little one anymore, I now know more about it at least.. I got 3 cutie little plants just a little moment ago, and I'm determined to keep them as healthy as possible :)

Hope to see photos of your new plants !:)

These 3 little cuties. They are a lot smaller in real life than it seems lol!

Nice plants. Are you planing on repotting them?

Read about Lithops before you repot or water - unless you already did :) You can search this forum or read all about them -here- and/or -here-

Oh thank you! I did not repot or touch them just yet. Guess that's a good thing :) I'll read up on it!
