This poor guy here is drying up. It was lush green when I first got it a month or two ago.  
Any suggestions on how to revive it?? 😔

I believe I have one of these. Though I may not be a professional I suggest maybe repoting it if you haven't already and maybe adding fertilizer or a new batch of soil. I'm not exactly sure if you can trim back these plants. That's above my level of experience. I hope this helps and wish you plant gat well soon! 😊

Thank you! Appreciate your response. 🙂

Is this a Petrosedum rupestre? I have one and I have darn near killed mine as well. I just can’t seem to figure out how to make it happy!

#### Deepti replied on 2024-04-03

Yes it's that. Been struggling since it came home! 🙁

#### Swamp Witch replied on 2024-04-03

Girl! If you figure it out please let me know! Sorry I’m not any help at all!

#### Deepti replied on 2024-04-03

Happy to help

Mine started doing this while it was in a southeast window. I moved it to a west window and seems to be doing better. I don’t think they like full sun or too much direct

#### Deepti replied on 2024-04-03

I only have north or south facing windows, but I can certainly move it farther away from the window.. Thank you :)

Try that it looks over sunned to me
