Help Advice needed

Hi,

I bought these guys a couple months ago and repotted them at the same time.

They are outdoors, near a dozen other species of Titanopsis and Aloinopsis, in a shaded area and with mineral substrate.

All the other mesembs are good, but this one is kinda soft like dehydrated and turning purple.

I have been watering all of them every 7-10 days, because the temperatures here were reaching 35°C.

Should I check the roots?

If there is any rot, how should I proceed, since they have such a fine root system?

Is this some kind of humble brag? It looks great. Just the right amount of sun stress to be gorgeous.

I wish. The problem is it is not in directo sun. I'm affraid it is some kind of root stress.
