Planta is telling me to water my living stone plant, but I thought they weren’t supposed to be watered in the summer. Do I water or no? Last water was over a week ago during repotting (I didnt know about the watering situation at the time😅)

\*\*The other plant in the photo has been struggling for some time (shes a rescue) if anyone has an ID that would be great!

always better to err on the side of caution when it comes to succs \& water. i’d skip for now

I bought a living stone from a plant store in Utah. He told me to water it once a month or month and a half. You can tell when they start to shrivel or shrink or get wrinkly I guess that’s when to water. Then he said in the winter, water it like once in three months. And he also said do NOT water it if it is splitting. Don’t know if that’s accurate but that’s what I’m going by. Apparently they don’t like much water at all.

that all sounds like great advice to me — less is more for sure! they definitely don’t want water in the little crevices — that will lead to rot real fast
