Hello! I’m once again looking for some guidance. My buddy here has some stems that have shriveled up. They still feel strong when I touch them however and the smaller stems growing next to the main body are new. Do I have anything to worry about? I just moved them to a new window with better sunlight recently. 🌱🪴

Saw your previous post I would definitely let it adjust

And grow light for sure even if it’s a little lamp with a bulb pointing at the plants over sitting over head will help soo much they are usually in warm/dry environments with lots of sun you want to mimic that as best as possible

It looks very dehydrated. What is it? Looks like a sansieveria but you have it as a gasteria. What kind of gasteria is it? But care should be similar. I would check out the root health. The soil looks appropriate. And terracotta pot is good. I would say underwatering.
