Granite’s brother Rocky is doing well after his 2 tbsp drink…update: Just realized what is wrong with Granite! He recently absorbed his outer leaves (giving him a healthy drink that way), then I gave them both 2 tbsp of water…over doing what granite needed! Hope he survives…

Mikel where did you hear about 2 tablespoons of water for your split rocks?

Alexa+ helped with that info…didn’t want to drown them!

Ok I talked to Alexa this morning. I asked how to water a split rock plant. She told me the same as you. Then I told her the routine of 2 tablespoons didn’t sound correct. She agreed. I then told her that I thought I was to water until water exited the drain hole. She agreed again that this would be the correct watering routine. And then said to check for the leaves being soft before you water. In other words AI is not always correct and if you argue or disagree with the app, it will change the answer. I’ve done this many times with AI. You finally will get a more logical answer. Then ask if this is the best answer. So the 2 tablespoons routine Alexa recommends is not correct. Ask her again to see if she has corrected her info. I’m very curious to find out.
