I just watered my lithops and a week later it still looks wrinkled on one side. I was wondering if maybe he needs a bigger pot.

Thoughts?

Lower leaves will wrinkle (as the plant absorbs all the moisture from it), dry up and die off. Totally normal for this plant, try not to water it while its going through this process as it can easily get too much moisture and die.

Thank you so much! This is my first lithops so I’m still learning :)

As long as the rest stays looking like that I wouldn’t worry about it 👍🏻
