Carole, will you look at the bottom of this M. scortechinii. I finally found Sunshine Mix and was ready to re-pot it. When I tugged on it, the dirt around the sides fell away. It looks like it's been just sitting there dying, root bound. I did notice a few hairlike roots around the top sides, so it isn't gone yet. Can I clip the roots a bit? They really look bad, and the fact that it just popped out of the pot makes me think it never really got established.
