# I was told to water these when they get a little wrinkly but it’s…

_Publicado por Freedomskai el 2024-01-27_

I was told to water these when they get a little wrinkly but it’s been 3 and a half weeks since I got this and I’ve never watered it yet! To me the pearls look less vibrant and juicy than when I got it but I’m so scared. I love this plant and want to make sure I’m doing right by its care needs! Any advice?

I don’t wait till they’re all the way wrinkly. I feel them and if they are a little soft or their skin isn’t as taut then I water. But it is normal for them to go a very long time without water. The plant is obviously growing so it looks pretty happy.😊

I don’t wait until they are wrinkled. I water thoroughly and then wait 3 to four weeks to thoroughly drench them again.

Constantly waiting for wrinkles can cause stress in my opinion.

Oh ok thank you! I think I should water them now then since they have a little bounce to them rather than just being so rock hard. And thank you!

Yours looks so beautiful!! I hope mine will grow as big as yours one day!

My experience with these is the media they come in from the nursery is not friendly to my home environment. I have more success with a very gritty soil.
