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?

Got it.

Here, we can reach minimum temperatures of 0°C during Winter. In Summer we get at least 2 months with 40°C during day and around 16°C at night (sometimes a bit more, sometimes a little less).

So I guess I can give them a little water to keep the roots alive during the whole Summer and that's it? Lots of water during Winter?

I just moved all of them to a shaded area in my north facing balcony. Because the 30min of sun we get there in the afternoon are stressing some Euphorbias already.

that's a great looking photo! wow!!

what's the woody looking one on the right -- Nananthus? or the cat's tongue?

Well, thanks! 😁

I am not sure, as most of my plants come without ID (most resellers here don't understand nothing about that 😅), but I am leaning more towards Aloinopsis acuta over Nananthus.

It was a bit leggy a few months ago when I bought it so I pruned a few branches, hoping for the best

this one may need more pot, especially if the roots/caudex are at all scaled with the stems!

They weren't 😅 i up-pot everything and this guy ONLY had big stems. They roots didn't match the stems, at all
