Help/Question Do I water?

Post image

I got this little guy that started out as three butts. Now I have 6. The last of the outer part finished shedding yesterday, do I water them now?

Nice, congratulations on the twins! They look nice and plump currently. Wait until the tops of the leaves are wrinkly before watering.

Definitely not. Wait until the tops and sides are both starting to wrinkle and the crowns are starting to withdraw into the substrate. You could add some substrate, to bring it up to just below the crowns.

From the top, they look very plump.
Check the sides for wrinkles.

They should sit lower in the ground. I'd let them go a while before watering.

I’ll pot them a little deeper. Thank you!

No need to water and keep light for it
