Houseplant homicide

What happened to my plant?

Did it die from a broken heart?


It was doing just fine after I replanted it last month. It had outgrown the little pot on the right, so much so it had climbed right out of the dirt. Bad dirt at that. It was in random potting soil and I got some cactus mix to replant it in.



Repotting extravaganza!


After replanting, it was stretching out and even looked like it may flower soon!
I watered it very lightly at this point.

I got to buy a new plant for the pot it outgrew too!


And even without much water it seems to be melting. The soil is dry and Travis swears he did not water it.



Although I am curious what happened to it, I have already replaced it in my heart with a new plant. I bought this colorful little Haworthia at the NW Flower and Garden show. Since I am not ready to plant outdoors yet, I eased my plant buying soul with a new succulent.
This itty bitty plant and pot is only 3 inches tall.




 So--what did I do wrong? Will I lose another this way? I do not think it is redeemable in its current state.
