April 2017
Looked so whitish pale, the offsets held on, also whitish pale..but it was not squishy, not really sure if it was dead or not, so have put it in shade. We had extended cool down in Spring, so I still held back watering.

By May 2017, finally I see the offsets tips are turning green, so I gently gave it some water, still in doubt if it will make it:

29June2017 - it is doing much better! More alive now..looks like a different plant than before..now I know it is an active summer grower, likes frequent watering at this time.but has to be in shade here since it is too dry.
