I have had this succulent for about 7 years.
At one point it was doing well so I repotted him. . . he has never gotten better only worse.
About a year ago I was told it looked like root rot, then when I checked he had almost no roots. They were very short, but they did look sort of like rot so I cut off what little was there. Put him into a new pot with really good drainage(too good) and a mix of cactus soil with perlite. This is when he was split into two.
After about a year, there has been almost no change. He wasn't thriving.
I have learned since that the drainage was too good, I had a layer of rock and sand which was preventing the soil from holding any moisture, it was too dry most of the time.
So again, I repot him about 2 weeks ago. Less drainage, more of the cactus perlite mix, the soil is sort of cold and almost moist so I think I have done it right... but he is still not thriving. One of the two is standing up some with what sort of looks like healthy growth.
I have several succulents that I have never repotted that thrive. I do not think it is the water schedule or sunlight.. it must be something else. But what? I have one other that I repotted and it is similar, it just isn't thriving like it should.
