Okay it does feel squishy and this is how the rest went

Chop the trunk upward until you find clean tissue, then re-root the entire top.

If you can't find clean tissue, then cut your losses and root the tip cuttings from the top.

I am so sorry, was really hoping your plants would pull through.

Hamza, ROT - the worse nightmare for any succulent plant. Wait, I take that back, ROT + FUNGUS is the worst.

I'm with Josh here, keep cutting until you see green healthy flesh - DO NOT skim on the amputation, it's like an infection. If you leave the slightest bit of rot on the remaining stem and plant it, chances are, it will spread and you'll lose more than what you have begun - I'm speaking from a recent bad experience. So be ruthless and chop.

PS sterilize your tools too! Very important step to prevent spreading.

Best of luck, Bernard

Sorry Hamza, but at least your serial pictures will be able to help people understand the problem. I will bookmark this for when questions come up.

Hank you everyone for your kind words I know it was my own fault for leaving them in there must have been like a magnifying glass on them and but away at the base too maybe because of the stones but I have cut away at every one like this taking large cuttings and dusting with cinnamon but it's a lesson learnt just wish it was not so many but there is nothing I can do now just hope I don't lose any more and the cuttings take :)
