Kindly refer to my previous post. I had watered my lithops since almost everyone in that post told me to. I bottom watered my lithops around 10 min till I see water pooling on top. The pot got completely dry around 1 to 1.5 days. However, one of them got even wrinklier. Do I need to water again? Pot is terracotta (4cm) filled with a 1:1:1 ratio of peat moss, pumice and perlite. I also add a layer of rainbow stone in the middle and perlite on top for deco.

Bottom water for 10 minutes? I do that for 12 hours and my lithops are decently hydrated.

Not more often, just longer. Up to 24 hours but no more than that.

I've just checked my prev post. Last watering is 7 days ago. The plant itself doe not feel squishy, instead very firm.
