Hello! So i picked up these tbms a mo ago at walmart, i have a concern with the one on the right w the pup. Compare the first pic (about a mo ago) to the 2nd (today) and look how shriveled / prune like the pup has gotten.
I repotted it a day or two after picking it up, then watered throughly about a week later. Then put it under a grow light i have many others under, then watered again about 2 weeks later.
It started shriveling about a week after i got it. I was hoping it would have plumped up again by now but it doesnt seem to be getting better.
Any ideas? Is this normal due to getting acclimated to new soil and light conditions maybe? I who knows how long it was in walmart poorly lit so i am hoping maybe an adjustment thing.
Any thoughts / advice appreciated (the other one i got without a pup looks about the same but it is greening up more on top which i think is a good sign)

What is your soil mix?
It’s probably still thirsty..
You could bottom water it and leave it in for some 4-6 hours. As long as its well draining and it gets a couple dry days before next watering these tbm can take a lot of water
That left one is by far the fattest TBM-B I’ve seen from Walmart. That pup alone is damn near the size of what they regularly are. Crazy cool to see this!
Dehydrated. As above poster said give it a good drink
