@BonusRosea78 well, it looks like you might have gone a bit too far the other way. 😬Amigo looks pretty underwatered to me. However, you don’t want to drench them with water at the moment. Because you probably have quite a lot of dried up roots. If you drench them with water, the remaining roots will be overwhelmed and drown. You’ll want to keep giving a small amount of water, enough to make the soil just barely but evenly damp over the next few weeks, as the roots hopefully recover. Once you see new growth, you can then resume a regular wet-dry watering cycle (but without waiting as long as you did this time to water). I’m rooting for you and Amigo to make a full recovery!
Thank you I'll keep that in mind as I move forward. I'm thinking about repotting it with fresh sterile grow mix and a slightly bigger pot but I will wait for signs of regrowth.
