Re: What to do?

Agree 100% with Saxicola. I would dry this plant for a few weeks (without soil), then plant it into 10% soil/90% grit, dry it for another week or two, and water thereafter twice a months. The cutting can be tried to root.
It is not even remotely related to Fenestraria (other than the same family).

Re: Potted up my mesembs, need advice on watering

This Argyroderma will happily go with no water for a few more months :)

Re: Growing Lithops and Other Difficult Mesembs

My Argyrodermas get about 1/10th of the water that my Pleiospilos (in the same conditions) get.

Re: Growing Lithops and Other Difficult Mesembs

I'm recently going to receive my first batch of mesembs. I think there are three lithops, a Argyroderma Crateriforme, and a pleiospilos royal flush. I know Lithops have very different watering regime compared to others. Is it okay for me to pot the Lithops in one pot, and Argyroderma and pleiospilo...

Thank you all. Argyrodermas have beautiful flowers, and it is difficult to spoil them.

Amazing. I never though of goggling Lithops as "work".
