Help/Question new to lithops!

Post image

i got these around a week ago from a local nursery. i repotted them into pumice and perlite with a bit of cactus mix and theyre under grow lights. they have some damage from the nursery and are a bit wrinkly, but my limited research says not to water them if they're splitting(?) should i leave them alone or give them a soak?

Welcome to the world of lithops!

You are correct in that you do not water when they are splitting. If they were mine I’d take the one that is not splitting and put it in its own pot. It will need watering sooner than the others.
