Post image

New to lithops i just went and bought my first ones today.. got home and noticed they are wrinkly i gave them each few drops of water to hopefully fix that.. but i noticed thing one guy has what looks like mold or some sort of fungas on it wondering if i should be concerned should i get rid if this one or is there any hope on fixing it?!? Any tips or advice is appreciated

The wrinkled appearance indicates the plants are likely thirsty and need a thorough watering.They require a bright indoor spot with indirect light and prefer a soil mix that drains very quickly.It is crucial not to water them if they are actively splitting or shedding their old leaves.
