This is my softspot and she goes everywhere I go. While moving premises, we were caught in a heavy rain storm and both got soaking wet. From being a healthy light green and "fatter" she is now thin, dark green and she looks weak. I need to know what type of plant this is and how can I help her? I replaced her sand mix but I don't know what else I can do. I'm really attached to her, if it makes any sense.
I'm in South Africa.
Thank you for an awesome website!

Not a very good picture, but it looks to me like Haworthia. Could you post a better picture?

The classic, Haworthia attenuata. The soil doesn't look suitable though.

The new growth is etiolated due to insufficient light. The unexpected drenching might have encouraged extra growth but wasn't the real problem. Don't make a habit of it though! Or maybe make a habit of it, but not too often
Seriously, find a spot where it gets some sun and the new growth should be fatter with stronger markings.
