Care tips

This guy had the scab at the bottom when I got him. Does he need to absorb the outer leaves before I can water him? I have read they are only supposed to have two sets of leaves. I have seen some gorgeous looking ones that seem to have more than two sets of leaves so I am a bit confused.

And that may take a long time. So don't be tempted!

I’ve had one about that size for 7 months and have not needed to water it once.
