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!

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.
