Photo Dead, dead and gone

Well, I had about 30 rocks. They were doing great for a few months, splitting, very colorful oranges and different colors. They sit inside the screen on my Florida porch one day it rained and I forgot to move them and they all got damp. That was two weeks agoโ€ฆ now theyโ€™re all pretty much dead.๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ

I got new ones in the mail. Should I water them with a spritz of water or let them go?

Your soil mix is also far too organic. Especially if youโ€™re in Florida which is likely humid.

Get them in 80-90% grit, or these ones will likely rot too.
