About a month ago, I was given a small propagation of a red Anderson. I did as the lady told me to and everything seemed to be fine. About a week ago I went away for a few days, I had moved my red Anderson into my house under a grow light for 12 hours a day. It was extremely dry when I came back and I immediately watered it, and it hasn’t dried out since then. Any care info appreciated! I’m new to propagations!

sounds like the roots didn’t survive. i’d take it out gently to get eyes on the roots

They seem okay to me, what do you think

I don’t see many roots there tbh 😬
