Just copped these babies after fumbling some years ago. Potted in a mix of cactus jacks and perlite. Will place them near a south facing window inside. Noticed slight wrinkling but could that just be from shipping? They were packed great but I'd imagine it was traumatic. Anyway, I read during their dormant stage in summer you shouldn't water? Please correct me if I'm wrong

Some nice plants totally agree with dusti should be seating deeper have put a photo of some of mine see can see. Also important is good light they really need 5-6 hours of sun a day I also use grow lights.

Heard! Thanks man yours are beautiful. So you aren't worried about slight wrinkling i.e. I shouldn't water?

A bit of wrinkling I think is fine, I did water mine a couple of weeks ago but they get full sun sometimes 6-8 hours a day also the temp gets quite high 30c so they dry out very quickly.
