dormancy or something serious? (2)

Post by cacti and cacti not »

My dorstenia foetida and gerrardanthus lobatus have experienced some stem shrinking this winter. Is this simply dormancy, or is it a sign of something worse? In addition, my monadenium magnificum is leafless (this I assume is normal, right?).

Seeing no saucers under pots means you don't water those now and for a couple of months stem can shrink and leaves lost, it is normal for winter time. If you are in doubt inspect the roots closer.

If your cacti mess in your job just forget about the job.
°C = (°F - 32)/1.8
