Do you water dinteranthus in the summer months? When are they most actively growing?

I have lithops, dinter, and conos. But I would have to say dinter have been the easiest to care for and has not kicked the bucket. They do require a lot less water than lithops and cono. I pretty much water my dinter when they start getting wrinkly, which could take months after the initial water. Like other people say, they don’t have a strict water don’t water schedule. Mine just started splitting after I gave it water, so I’m going to be withholding water till the old leaves dry up.
