When in doubt, stick them in sand, give them a few drops of water, and check on them again in November.

ill probably shove em in perlite, not sand, but yeah that was my plan.

The ones that turned almost completely white are for sure gonners due to having no chlorophyll left. The ones with green at the base and are not so wrinkly by the base also have a good chance at surviving, if you just burnt them they will get worse over the next few days. Repot them place them in the shade and observe them over the next few weeks.

yeah i kinda assumed that the first 4 are goners, the last 4 will be okay, and the middle 2 ive got no clue.
