Underwatered haworthia?

I recently repotted this plant and found that she has barely any roots. I gave her a good water and let her be, and now her leaves are hollowing out. They feel firm and dry, so I don't think I've over watered her, but I'm not sure how to help her out.
Thanks

@kohkoda it looks to be under watered based on the leaves curling in.

This plant doesn't like direct light at all. It looks like it's getting stressed from too much light.

EDIT: if the soil is dry, water it deeply, let it drip dry, and move it away from the direct light, maybe to the side of the window.

@RJG the photo is from two weeks ago, if anything it looks a little worse now

@sarahsalith Thanks, I didn't know that! Greg says otherwise but it does get direct light for most of the day so I can see how it could get stressed. Thank you!

How is your plant doing? I had one delivered bare root. I had to give it water therapy for a few days after potting. I’m wondering if that might help yours root? I’m new to Haworthias though. Just a thought.

Thanks for checking in! I haven't heard of water therapy - I'll have to check that out. I've taken the advice here and the good news is she doesn't look any worse, but she hasn't gotten much better either. I have a bunch of propagations that are doing well though. Good luck with your haworthia!
