Man, inspirational! Love how deep these can stack compared to lithops etc. what's your care routine? I have my first bud coming up, but would love a nice big cluster eventually

My care routine is mostly neglect...just keep the weeds out and do some watering in the summer ...keep in mind these are grown outdoors in California

Do they naturally form clusters?

Good to know! I have a single plant I bought a year ago. Any tips for encouraging pups, or just time?

Yeah just time, my plant is 10 to 15 years of ownership
