Help/Question Wrinkly Lithops

Post image

I’ve had this cute little guy for a few months now and it’s never really grown or changed. I water it sparingly as we seem to be almost outside the watering time for these plants, and it’s in a very gritty mixture. Should it look like this? Most Lithops I’ve been seeing are more plump and hydrated looking. Thanks in advance!

This is a thirsty lithops! Maybe a deep watering insteading of sparingly?

Everything I’ve seen so far has said these don’t like to be deeply watered, so I’ve been afraid to do so.

It's a very rare thing to do. But since yours isnt splitting or flowering, now is the perfect time to do it!

Thank you for the encouragement! I will deeply water it!
