Dinteranthus wilmottianus growing info

Post by elgecko »

I just started growing succulents earlier this year.
I have a Dinteranthus wilmottianus that about a month or so ago started to look as if it was wilting. I don't water this plant much at all so I was concerned if I somehow rotted it.
As I took pictures to post on here, I believe I see what's going on. Looks like the plant is growing new leaves.

I cannot find much info on this plant.
My question is how do I care for this plant?
Is it like Lithops that you do not water when it's creating it's new growth as it takes the water from the old leaves?

Similar to Lithops, except they don't have a definite winter rest - do keep them on the dry side then. Yes, withhold water until the old leaves dry up.
