So, I've had these lithops for about 4 or 5 months now and when I bought them I was told not to water them until about mid-September. I'm just wondering what I should start looking for when it is time to water them. As well, do the splits look like they are opening for new growth?
These are my first two, so I'd like to learn a bit about what I should look for in regards to these awesome succulents. I just really don't want to mess them up.
Thanks to anyone who answers in advance.

Hello… Apparently new leaves are coming. Wait a little longer, they should do it here, even. During this period you should not water it, it feeds on the leaf itself that is “cracking”. Then it’s time to water.

Over time you will know easily. But there are some cases that are really deceiving.

Here’s an example, who looks like he’s thirsty. I wetted it twice and it didn’t improve. I had to take it out of the vase and to my surprise.
