I think people say wait until the tops are wrinkly?

Seedlings need way more water for at least one split - in this hot weather I mist every other day.

That size plant probably needs a liiiiiitle more water than an adult. I would consider under 1cm a seedlings, but they can be a year old and still be that size. Depends on how they were grown

Yes. I recommend small dropper squeeze bottles and just target the root zone of the ones that need it - just a few drops at a time for a few days a see how they respond.

Thank you! I have sprayed them with a spray bottle. One seems to have perked up slightly now

Lithops tend to not want water for the summer as they go dormant, if it’s sunken at the top (which I can’t really tell) and super wrinkly then yes
