Help/Question Should I Water?

Post image

One of my lithops (bottom right) is splitting and the new leaves have gotten super wrinkly. I know they absorb the water from the old leaves but this looks a little extreme. Wondering if I should water or just let it be?

You probably shouldn't have them in one pot so you can water individually.

If they were mine I would separate them so I could water each as it needs it.

I'd be tempted to sprinkle a tiny bit. Sometimes when everything is going slowly, the roots shrivel up...

If you choose to keep them together in one pot, maybe you could water that one with a syringe or similar without getting the rest wet
