This is how I found my Goeppertia orbifolia after 5 weeks of us gone.

Can it be saved?

Oof…Goeppertia need constant moisture in the soil and air, so it’s probably suffocating. However! If you cut off the leaves that are dead or yellowing and put it on a humidity tray, it should recover. I do find it takes long for more mature plants to recover from environmental shocks, but it should eventually. Might take a few weeks.

I’ve cut the dead leaves so will wait and see how it goes.

Water and patience
