Are cyclocecta pings more sensitive than other pings?the cyclo has been around a bit and yet the other ping looks happier and is spreading like nuts. I can’t say I’ve seen any flowers out of it recently either.
Cyclosecta is more difficult to grow than the average ping species or hybrid. It likes to be much wetter, in my opinion, and goes succulent fast when not given enough water. It also rarely flowers for me, and I grow a few different types.

I’ve had cyclosecta for a decade and they never propagate. Pulling leaves is the only way I’ve ever been able to do it.

if it’s going dormant or “vegetative” it may just be shrinking (normally?)
They’re kinda picky, but all of mine also tend to get shockingly small when they go vegetative for winter. like I constantly wonder if it’s dying and then they go back to normal size come spring. haven’t lost a single one yet in spite of their like 70-80% reduction in size.
