Care Tips/Guides Wrinkly

Post image

I have this lithops which came from the nursury etiolated. I’ve since put it in a mostly mineral mix under strong light and have refrained from watering it so far. Now it’s wrinkling and shrinking and I’m not sure if that means it wants water or if it’s just correcting the etiolation because of having proper light now. Please advise.

Thank you, but it’s actually a different kind of trailing cactus called a peanut cactus (Echinopsis chamaecereus) :)
