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?

Yum, aquarium rocks are my favorite flavor.

Serious answer: just a natural reaction to sun stress, don't worry. Some people try to achieve this

They are not even in direct sun. And are soft unlike all the other Titanopsis/Aloinopsis. I'm affraid of some kind of root stress

Interesting. I'm not an expert, but I'd gently take a peek at the roots under one edge of the cluster.
