Are these guys ok?! I just got these Christmas cactus cuttings and after some research I thought water would be ok.. but now they are changing colour and are flimsy.. should i take them out or are they just adjusting?! Thanks!

How much light are they getting? Also, how deep is the water / how much of the plant is in the water

Just the bottom part(maybe a little more) and i have them getting at least 5-7 hours of sun in the afternoon and i have a grow light for the mornings!

Looks good to me! Yeah I wouldn’t worry too much then, i think they’ll firm back up
