Karoo rose getting wrinkly

Hi #greggang!
I'm not sure if it's visible on the photo, but my Karoo Rose is getting kinda wrinkly on one of the leafs. Does this mean something more serious like overwatering or underwatering or does it mean that it's getting ready to produce new babies? πŸ’š #happyplants #plantsmakepeoplehappy #plantaddict #newgrowth #succulentlove #help
3ft to light, direct
2” pot with drainage
Last watered 3 years ago

If it’s at all like lithops then wrinkles can mean it needs water. They will look more plump and full when they don’t need water. How often do you water?
I agree with @SirLiquorice it’s probably because they’re thirsty! But omg those are soooo cute! Where did you get those! 😍
Also are those two black dots on the top dirt?
@ElderWasabi I agree they are thirsty when they get wrinkly.
I think it's easier to see this side πŸ˜„
@SirLiquorice I try to keep the recommended schedule by Greg, however, since autumn arrived to Portugal very warm and sunny, I'm boosting the water intake in 2/3 days before the recommended date given by Greg, because I feel the babies here are getting too dry.
@PlantyPlanter yes those black dots are dirt mixed with spots on the plant itself (had them since first day). I was able to get this beauty on a specialised succulent collector here in Portugal 😍
@ElderWasabi JEALOUS! Also hi from from RI! 😁 We have so many Portuguese people here (including myself lol)
@ElderWasabi aww it looks like a smiley face πŸ₯ΊπŸ˜‚
I watered Miley today to see if gets better πŸ’š
Are you sure it’s Karoo rose? Their leaves are usually angular. It looks like Agyroderma or something to me.
@Jana85 you are indeed super right! πŸ₯Ί it's an argyroderma delaetii!
@RJG can you please help me out in adding the correct species to this baby? It's an Argyroderma Delaetii πŸ˜„
@ElderWasabi added!
@ElderWasabi it’s really cool. I would love to have one of those! I have no idea how to care for it, thoughβ€”I’d have to research that one!
@ElderWasabi Bem-vindo Γ  comunidade! Essa Γ© uma plantinha tΓ£o fofa. I just added it to my wishlist!πŸ’•πŸ₯°πŸ₯°
Love your little plant. It is so pretty. 😍
Obrigada @Ms.Persnickety 😍
@ElderWasabi De nada
@ElderWasabi ooh that’s cool you arrived in Portugal. I have never been, but yeah the hotter weather probably will cause it to need water a little more often. My favorite shoes are made in Portugal. The brand Magnanni. They are so well made and better than any other shoes I’ve owned. Worth the money for sure.
@SirLiquorice I'm portuguese, so I have lived here all my life 😁 but yeah, Portugal has amazing conditions to grow some beautiful babies. Sun never seems to cease, even in the winter. Autumns are hot and with almost no rain πŸ˜” I do appreciate more winterish countries, but I do recognize that here, succulents and cactus are indeed happy. If you ever come to Portugal for a region like Algarve for example, you'll see that they have Snake Plants everywhere in the streets 🌡 but shoes here in Portugal are indeed very very good. Happy to know you are such a fan of them 😁
