Hi all, thanks in advance for your help. I bought this from a dark damp shelf at the big box hardware store in September and it had two large leaf pairs and one emerging. Since then it’s been sitting on a sunny windowsill (low humidity location) and I haven’t watered it, thinking that like Lithops I should wait for the new leaf pair to consume the oldest pair. Fast forward to January, the oldest pair is shrinking and soft, the second oldest pair is soft but still big, the new pair has grown a lot, and another pair is apparently forming! Should I let this guy roll with it and stay dry all winter honoring the season? I assume it has enough juice to keep growing with the two big leaf pairs. But why is it growing another? What’s a healthy number? Many thanks for your opinions!

If memory serves, 2 pairs is what it should have. I would let it ride, personally. They’re SUPER easy to kill.
Nothing right now! Its been over watered it shouldn’t be stacking
Let it chill, 😀
I’d consider switching it to a more inorganic soil mix. You say you haven’t watered in ages, but it looks like this soil would stay damp just to spite you!
