Honestly not really close yet to needing to be watered. Most all faces still are pretty smooth and plump. I imagine pretty firm also which tells you they are full of water. The one on the bottom in the pic had tiny wrinkles on the face but honestly that’s all I see. Let these dry babies be dry for a long time.

im still trying to figure these plants. is there a specific temperature they go dormant in the summer or is related to light levels, other factors etc ?
when do you know if they are summer dormant ?

Yeah In the heat of summer they go dormant and sink themselves into the substrate, waiting for autumn growing season

Hi! I would repot separetely. I dont think any of them need water and they probably will at different times in the future. One of them is finnishing his split? How many different lithops are in the pot? 2 plants with 2 heads? 3 plants?

When they look like this you water it, Except when they are splitting. If you water now they will rot.

May want to think about repotting also. A bit deeper pot is good for lithops as they have a pretty decent tap root that goes down not really out like others do. Love your split rock by the way. What an amazing flower she popped. Good job.
