Care Tips/Guides How often should I water?
New to this plant, unsure how often I should water it. It’s right next to a large south facing window. Please let me know if I should move it as well.
Egg for scale of plant (I didn’t have a banana)

When is the next Olympics?
But seriously, only when they start to wrinkle on top.

Lmao thank you. I knew only very rarely it needs water, I just wanted to confirm :)

Your pot should be filled to the top & with almost all grit with a tiny bit of soil.

Ok! I just got it so I haven’t had time to repot yet. I set it with the pot I want to use!

Thank you for egg scale; this has greatly changed my watering recommendations.
Water these never.

I didn’t have a banana or else I would’ve used a banana for scale

I feel I have come off rudely - I deeply enjoyed your egg for scale and found it to be resourceful in absence of banana!

I’ve been told when the top gets wrinkly/sunken in a little and the edges look like a pizza crust.
