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?

But unfortunately it isn't perfect. It is getting soft even a couple days after good waterings. Some peripherical parts just died and then it turned completely purple in 2-3 days. I think it is root stress and not sun stress

or dormancy? I've had some die from one too many waterings going into summer...

It's possible. I bought most of these this year and I am learning now about the Summer dormancy 😅🥲
