Hello guys, need advice. I got this little buddy on November last year and haven’t watered it at all. I grow it indoor under growlight full spectrum indirect 12 hours (37-40rh/day 30C/night 23C). In my country, now is almost summer. Should I water it(by mist or small drop water around the pot) or not water? Oh and I used a conophytum-special soil. Thanks in advance!

Hello there!
Can you describe what is in the cono-specific soil you bought?
Conos are actually active growers during the winter, so they probably should have gotten a little water over the last few months, as they’ll be heading into dormancy for the summer. yours look good currently, if a little thirsty.
Are they properly rooted? if you got them in november and haven’t watered them much, I would be concerned that they haven’t rooted yet, and that would be less than ideal going into dormancy. I find if they aren’t properly rooted they have troubles uptaking water when it is introduced and they may not be able to recover from dormancy. If you poke the plant VERY GENTLY, does it move, AT ALL?
