Well, that's a couple of questions.  It was pretty wet, and the soil wasn't very free-draining. I spritzed it a little.
What was it's location like before you got it?
My mom kept it in the house. When I moved it to my place, I kept it outside. I'm currently giving it filtered sun and spritzing the plant every now and then. Should I stop spritzing? |
Ok, that sounds pretty good. Except, I'd suggest leaving it alone. Don't spritz or water until the leaves start to prune or wrinkle a little-the best way to know when to water.
It will probably struggle for a while. Likely, the roots were suffering from some root rot, and that will take a while for it to recover from. Portulacarias, like crassulas, are more like a succulent than a bonsai, and so respond well to neglect. If it lives, it will probably sulk for a while. Do nothing more to it until you begin to see new growth and healthier foliage. I'd say you should see some improvement in about two or three weeks if it decides to be a trooper and pull through.
Just my two cents-again, there might be someone with more experience than me.
