I bought this one on a whim because i was taken by its beautiful ruby red colour. All my other conophytum that I've had for a couple of years now burst out of their dried leaves a month ago, and some of them are flowering. But this one isn't, i thought it was growing a flower bud but it clearly isn't, and is just in need of a split.
It's August basically now, can this still go through the cycle by say, beginning of October? That's if of course, i don't water it.
(My other conophytum have recently been watered, flowering ensued after)
I bought this one off ebay because i was looking for this particular cultivar (C.maughanii "armeniacum")
And didn't realise it was clearly needing dormancy.

Sure some of mine are well behind the others
My lithops is cracking now… It’s huge and fat, the previous owner used to wet it, it was beautiful hahahaha…
I would keep it dry. Once the old leaves are papery, I would start watering right away. Hopefully it will start growing while the other plants are still in growth. I do keep my Conophytum outdoors though, and in my climate they still have about a month a half before they’ll want water.
