Anyone???

Thank you, I appreciate your response and I apologize for sounding demanding if I did, I was just very concerned.

Hi, i was like you before. You need a pot with draining hole in the bottom. I m using the gritty mix and i water them when the gritty mix is dry. Usually once every two weeks. I water them deeply until i see water comes out from the draining hole. But your soil needs more perlite because the soil that you have might be too wet for the roots of your plants. you need a mix that allows you to water them freely and they can get dry easily.. not wet soil.

Thats my experience. The only plant that you could save is the third one. The first and second plant might not survive.

Danny. sorry about that.

Welcome to the forum, it's great place to learn a lot...

Agree with what polypompholyx said.

Where are you located?

Can you afford to buy bag of perlite? And maybe a kitchen sieve (larger one, not the small) from a dollar store? You also need containers with drainage - you could always get a free pot by using a yogurt/sour cream/cottage cheese container and poking lots of holes with a nail. You could use clear, it will allow you to see how wet is the soil. You should keep piece of paper wrapped around it since light will eventually encourage growth of algae, and roots don't need light.

Take them out immediately; wash off all the soil. Set them on paper towels or newspaper to dry, in bright spot but not full sunlight. See if there are any roots; check if healthy. Any dried out, mushy-blackkish roots should be cut off. They could stay out in fresh air for a day or two.

Sift perlite to get rid of dust *(don't breathe it in-do it outside, or balcony, or basement and/or use mask). Rinse sifted perlite in the sieve, let it drip-dry. If your existing soil has too much fine, dusty particulates, sift them out before sifting perlite, do not rinse. Mix soil and perlite 50/50.

Pot the plants in the new mix, keeping them higher than in glass container they are in now. If you can find some small rocks (like pea gravel used often in gardens), you could put some on top of soil as top-dressing, but not necessary.

Hopefully, there is enough life left in your plants. Don't water for a day or two - if they have any healthy roots left (the mix is slightly damp from washing the perlite), water after thoroughly, until excess water runs out from drainage holes. Every few days after, use chopstick or bamboo skewer or thin wood dowel to check for moisture: insert deep into the mix (at least halfway). If any particles stick to it and it feels damp/cold when taken out, do not water - there is still enough moisture left.

Succulents need to be watered, but sitting in water-logged soil is deadly for them. Soil should dry-out between watering. That may be every few days to a week or two - depending on the weather. Sorry for such long post, hopefully you find it useful. Ask any questions you may have...

If you take the plants out of their soil, clean off some of the soil from the roots, and take pictures of them on their sides that might help us figure out what's going on. I'm concerned about the stems of the first and second plants.
