When to water and repot?

Question

Hi all, I've had these little guys for a couple of weeks. I'm going to repot into a bigger pot with drainage. Looking for advice re this and watering regimes as I'm worried about over watering? Any advice appreciated! TIA 🪴💛💚

Only water after they start to wrinkle a bit. Never allow them to stay wet. They should be able to soak up the water you give them in a day or two. They grow naturally in dry, nutrient poor soil so don't baby them. They're not called living rocks for nothing 😁👍

They also go dormant during the winter months and basically need no water during that time. So you just resume watering in the spring.

Use a mix of rock, soil, and perlite or anything well draining when you repot. Not too much organic matter (soil). Sorry for the 3 separate replies. I kept thinking of stuff lol.

I have had some for so long, I feel like they still havent rooted

@tunnybiger · Answer

@Tikiboo yes! Same! I’ll try to back off on watering because I get concerned they haven’t rooted and need more water to do so😬 but also in my defense one of em died when I back off on watering about once or twice a week😢
