I got these cuties on Monday 7/28 and planted them in this terracotta pot. I gave them no water until Thursday 7/31 after having morning sun. I only gave them a drink bedsides the one splitting. Today I set them out but left them out 8am-11:30am in direct sun light. Now they look faded, some are wrinkly with a little bit of squish and some are fine. I believe I sun stressed this little guys. Will it be okay to just have them recover in bright shade for a week? How long does it take them to gain their color back? I’m very new to this and would like to have advice on how to properly take care of them.

1) change substrate dont have anything organic touch the leaf, i prefer 70% stones and max 20% organic dirt/soil 10% terracotta pebbles or perlite
2) if you wanna water them:
Do NOT if they are splitting (multiplying)
Do NOT if they are blooming
Do NOT if they arent wrinkly, means you only water them while they are in there inactive state.
Then water a LOT, best if you set the whole pot into another bigger watersource so that the water rises trough the substrate. (Difficult with big pot)
The pot should not bee too deep as the water down there can’t be used ( will begin to rot) i think those plants make roots about 10cm deep maximum
Thats all, You will’be able to watch them multiply/split after they collected enough water to grow a new set of leafes (wich drains the old leaf) (new one should get bigger if plant is healthy, or smaller if not treated good)
