I'm new to conophytums. What is happening here? Rotting? Is there anything I can do? The indentation has gone up and deeper quite a bit in the last couple of days. It feels a little softer than the other heads.
I would unpot and check the roots, worst case scenario – you lose one of the heads, but still can separate from the rest. It does not seem to be going dormant and it’s not the season for it. The wrinkles tell me that it wants a good drink but if it was recently purchased and potted, the roots might not be ready just yet.
I was giving my new arrivals a spoon of water at a time giving 4-5 days between the next spoon – the roots developed pretty fast that way
