Ordered this scorpion online, how do I keep it alive?


I got 10 plants, repotted them, hit them with some superthrive fertilizer, but this one just keeps wilting while the others seem fine. Any advice?

    Oxygen starved.  Would re.ove surrounding soil from the sides and ensure it’s well drained. No direct sun until it stops being a princess, then back to work!

    Water water water remove the mulch

    You might want to consider planting it in soil instead of a collection of assorted pieces of wood

    Assuming all other environmental factors remain the same, it sounds like some transplant shock. That or an unseen pest but based on recent potting up I’m guessing it’s the former. I would give it one good heavy watering and then place in the shade or under artificial lighting for a day or two, see if it bounces back.

    Just by repotting them you stressed the plants. It was not a good idea to give them fertilizer right away.

    Please get liquid fish fertilizer. It will perk that baby right up. Also, that soil looks really chunky. Put it in more fine soil if you can!! Good luck 🙂

    Seconding keep it out of the sun until it recovers, it will get fried
