Hey everyone,
New to reddit and this Stuff, but its now my first dormancy period for Conophytum and i am a bit confused. It works Out similiar to Lithops? Because i am absolutely not Sure and it feels like i will loose some of mine.
I dont give them a single drop of water ? Is it the same for every species ?
Thankfull for some Tips.

No. Not a single drop. Now when exactly you stop watering them will depend a bit on the temperatures/daylight hours but April to the beginning of May max is a good reference.
I typically place them in a shadier spot during that time over summer. With very few exceptions (like mirabilis) they are not as finicky as lithops. So fear not if you water them once too often or so (as long as you keep it on the light side).
But just like lithops, there are remarkably resilient. Just be patient 🙂
Okay thanks 😀 then i will Stop watering them Soon. Kinda scared because two of them are in a bit bad shape atm, but will see. 🙂
