To water or not to water?
I rescued this little guy from the Lowes death row on Saturday. It came in a pot with another, similar one, but I decided to separate them today because this one was super wrinkly and soft, and the other one smooth and firm. It was already wrinkly and soft at the time that I got them. So what I’m wondering is:
1) is it a lithops??? It doesn’t have the characteristic flat top. Neither does the other one.
2) should I water it??? There’s no sign of new leaves emerging from the middle, and all the watering guides for lithops talk about side wrinkles vs top wrinkles… but mine doesn’t have a flat top!
The soil was bone dry, if that helps, and the roots look healthy.

@FitPeyote39 it is a split rock succulent. Very similar watering requirements to lithops. If it was absolutely bone dry and this wrinkled, but not mushy, I would give it a nice big drink of water. 💦
And for later, if it does recover and grow, you water them when you feel the inside pair of leaves is slightly soft. I’m assuming you would follow this same cue when yours only has one pair of leaves 🤔 but I’ve only experienced double pairs. Good luck!!
