I would not have moved them to a deeper container. Shallow and just smaller width would have been better. Too deep a container will not improve drainage so any remaining roots will just be drowning taking a long time to dry up. Even in hot weather, looking at your media mix, it seems too wet to me, unless it has just been watered when you took the photo. But it is good you have moved them to shade, they need the shade if temps are intensely hot and dry.
Thanks for getting back to me.
It must survive...it was a present from my mum. Lol.
So, I took the photo the moment it was watered. I'd replant it again, but it's been replanted like twice in the last few months. I guess I need to wait with that and find out when it is okay to replant houseleeks (I mean which time of the year and how often they can be replanted).
I have moved it to the kitchen and it is now out of direct sunshine all the time.
How important is it to spray water on it? I might just get a spray bottle and start doing that if that helps.
Oh and I only water it like every 2 weeks with about half a glass (0.15 liter) of water. Is that okay?
Regarding the drainage: it is cactus soil with a few volcanic stones, but I guess the pot is too deep...so water doesnt reach the bottom and stays in the soil. I guess that's a bit of a problem too, right?
