    It looks like it’s been getting too much sun. The purple is almost like a sun tan, but usually it’s not this extreme. How often are you watering?

    Thanks for your comment, I don't water it often, but now that I've got this app it gives me a schedule

    WOW I’ve never seen one sun stressed quite like this! It must have gone from shade to full sun very quickly. you’ve got some dead stuff in there too. i would repot this. zygos are epiphytes— meaning they grow in the nooks and crannies of other things like trees and rocks. the soil should be very well draining. both of mine are in a 2:1 bark and potting soil (I use fox farm ocean forest) and in clay pots zygo are not good communicators. they will be very quietly sick until one day it’s too late so it’s best to set them up right from the jump

    Totally agree! I have one that is in a plastic pot and my ones in clay do way better! I might also try to pull it away from the window a bit so it gets less direct sun. I water about every 7-10 days in the summer, mine are in a SW facing window sill that gets quite warm. Fertilize about 1-2x a month in the summer if I remember. I use the sungro cacti and succulent mix but think I will be adding in bark at the next repot.
