I killed them, I guess

It would’ve been nice if the plant were bigger but lit didn’t matter because it died not long after I got it. The same thing happened to me with the parrot beak variety that I bought elsewhere. I don’t think I watered it much at all. I have a lot of succulents and Lithops as well and they are fine. Maybe there was a humidity problem, IDK:
