I’m watering too much???


I've been spraying them weekly. I don't drench them. I was told they'll all die soon with my water regimen.

I plan to repot them soon to give them space.

    Might be too much. For reference I have some about the same size and I’ve given them the first good watering they’ve had since April just this week and they all look about the same as yours. I would at least cut back to once a month during the summer due to it being their natural dormancy period. These guys thrive on negligence

    Yes! Definitely slow down on Water. They all look extremely plump and it is normal for them to have some wrinkles.

    I too would have to agree that overtime. They are not going to do well with this watering regimen.

    Get yourself some gritty soil. You want to have about 85 to 90% grit… with only 10 to 15% making up the organic.
    You likely know already, but make sure your pot has a drainage hole .

    Watch for tops several horizontal wrinkles that are deepening and no signs of splitting or flowering.

    Edit: look up Ashley Glassman on YouTube… helpful info in my opinion.

    Responses here lack nuance. You are not watering too much if they are during their growing season and if your substrate is mostly inorganic and they are in an area with adequate ventilation and light. Probably too little, actually. You are watering too much if it’s in the middle of winter and your substrate is mostly organic and they are indoors.
