@ExecAudreyficus Hi 👋 Yes, I'm sorry, it looks pretty bad. 😞 Just by looking at them it's more than likely the dirt/sand that you have them planted in. It looks very dense and is probably suffocating the roots. Unfortunately, it might be too late for these guys but I would immediately but carefully remove them and replant them in succulent soil. You can get a small bag at any garden center or Walmart. It drains well and doesn't hold on to water allowing the roots to breathe.
@princesspitstop aw dang. That is the dirt I have rn just outside my house, but I will attempt to retrieve better soil. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Miracle-Gro-Cactus-Palm-Citrus-Potting-Mix-8-qt-Use-with-Succulents/34621226?classType=VARIANT&athbdg=L1102 will this one work?
@ExecAudreyficus Yes that is a perfect choice! Also if you are able to get a small bag of perlite to mix with the cactus soil. I have all of my plants with that mix. It's a 2:1 ratio. 2 parts cactus/succulent soil 1 part Perlite
The perlite mixed in with the soil pulls extra water away keeping the roots from rotting. 👍💚 it's ok don't be too hard on yourself. That's how we learn! 😊
