Hello everyone, I'm the proud owner of three mesembs since last Summer.
- conophytum x marnierianum
- conophytum taylorianum
- conophytum uviforme
I'm living in the northern hemisphere/Europe and since irs Match and spring Just started I think the plants maybe should rest.
Since they are my first and only mesembs I'm not sure how to treat them now. I last watered them in the beginning of february and now they are fairly wrinkly. They sir in a warm, south facing window.
Should I Just keep doing nothing or should I slightly water/mist them from time to time? Should I move them to lower light condotions when its getting warmer ourside? I'm grateful for every information. 🙂

Im in UK, none of mine, apart from new arrivals are entering dormant yet, but I’m under-glass and can get 20-28c during tje days, i am still rainwater misting all of mine, i expect to see signs of dormancy in the next 2-3 weeks, when they will be moved from their sunny shelf
Are these just arrived? And dehydrated from the flight? They may still be thirsty
Let them go to sleep on their own. They’ll stop responding to watering then turn yellow soon then you can stop watering all together. Don’t try to force them.
