It looks good:). If it’s on schedule it should be waking up from a summer sleep. I find them to be fall/spring growers, but yours could be different just pay attention to it. These guys can go months without water so don’t worry about not giving it enough water. If not getting enough water while growing sometimes they will absorb the older set of leaves and become only one set of leaves. Not a huge deal. Sometimes if they get lots of water while they’re growing they will become three sets of leaves.

You can water in 7-10 days. So it can settle into it’s new home. I would personally wait 10 days, best to be safe than sorry. The only thing to worry about is that the mix is thoroughly drying out before you water again.

I’m going to warn you;) if you want an exciting plant, this is not it. They don’t do much, but when they do flower it is just that much more exciting. Pleiospilos have BEAUTIFUL flowers, def some of my favs.

My Pleiospilos simulans is in my top 3 fav flowers out if all my plants, and that’s saying something;).

I took this pic at the San Jose succulent show, and let me tell you this P. nelii was the biggest ive ever seen. That pot was about 5inches wide and it almost filled the whole pot.

Okay thank you so much I know that they are sort of similar the Lithops in care but need even less water. I was wondering though how does it work when the new leaves begin to grow In does it grow in one set and take the nutrients from the outside pair or does it take nutrients from both sets and grow completely new leaves? And that is quite impressive how long does it take to grow to that size? I just recently started collecting succulents this might cool to get for my next one

If everything goes as planned;) the newest set of leaves will take from the oldest/bottom leaves. The set of leaves that‘s on top now will become the old. Out with the old in with the new.

They have evolved into a plant that doesn’t waste any resources on extra stuff like tons of leaves and branching. This is why they can go so long without water because they reuse the old water and carbohydrates for the new. It’s kind of amazing tbh;).
