Help!! Saved this dying of excessive thirst from Home Depot 3 weeks ago. It was all shriveled up like how it still is in the photo. What do I do? :(

    Soak it in water?

    Soak it in water for 15 to 20 minutes. Then soak it again when its dry. Keep soaking until you see the wrinkles almost gone. Poor plant 😢 thank you for trying to save it. ☺️

      Agreed. Adding some hydrogen peroxide to the water can also add extra oxygen directly to the roots to help it recover faster, and kill any possibly lingering bacteria if the roots have never been checked for root rot or dry rot after purchase. Hope this helps! 😊

      I saw your comment soon after you left it but I forgot to attend to Miss Shrivels until last night. I filled up a tall cup with water and dropped her 2” terracotta pot in and started doing other stuff and even went to sleep. Just woke up and remembered that I left her in the cup submerged for hours. Rushed to her, dumped out the water and saw 98% of her wrinkles are gone! 😍 I’m soooo happy! I’m not afraid to try and save succulents anymore. :) I’ll do the submerging again in a few days probably or just let her go until she actually needs to be watered. I’m sleep trapped by my baby right now lol and forgot to get a photo but if I remember soon, I’ll snap a picture and upload it to show!

      Now that it’s mostly hydrated I’d wait until she’s dry. Over-watering is easy to do for succulents and harder to come back from.
