I've posted about my cutting before, and I am still lost with it. I took it from my dad's plant last winter and just stuck it in some cactus mix (that is what he does and it works). I didn't water it much at all for like four months. The top is growing, it has leaf spikes about two inches tall. The leaves are seriously so slow growing! The two inch leaves have taken almost four months to grow, it's mind numbing! Anyway, the stem is getting wrinkly more and more every day and now it is slightly soft. I've been told not to fully water until leaves open but at this rate that will be well into fall! I don't know if it is thirsty or if the little tiny bit I water it every week or two is hurting it! I live in Vegas so the air is very very dry. Please help!!!!
