Someone got a new succulent!!!
Succulents can be so strange sometimes. I'm having a similar problem with my burro's tail. It's leaves look dry so I water it but then it doesn't take in the water so the stem shrivels up as if I haven't watered it in months.I bottom watered my Crassula yesterday and the leaves are still wrinkly today There's quite a few dried hard leaves stuck to the stems too.

Many of mine have drying up leaves as well. Although mine have been soaking up water. Mine have lights on them which may warm them up, so maybe mine dint think it is true off season for them. How is the Crassula doing now?I bottom watered my Crassula yesterday and the leaves are still wrinkly today There's quite a few dried hard leaves stuck to the stems too.
Maybe try increasing the light. My crasulla needs more light than my other succulents and is stretching despite a south facing window and grow lights. Temp. should be fine and should not trigger dormancy. South facing is supposed to get the most sun I've read, if you have one that gets good light. It not, maybe try keeping the curtains out of the way or putting the plant between the curtain and the window (if it won't be too cold right next to the window). Keeps us updated! Good luckThe plant cart is in the bedroom that is about 68F. I usually have the cart in front of the slider door which face east. Too much sun maybe? I do have sheer curtains. The other succulents are ok.
Have you kept lithops before??? They are neat, aren't they! Thank you! And that is a great description, haha. I'm a science nerd, so I love that imargery!I do love lithops! W WillowMarie You are doing well with yours! Splitting like little cells dividing. Lol
I had another orchid bloom. Rhynchoestylis. I love the colors.

That orchid is stunning!!!! The very center looks like a little bird face, with two eyes and a beak. Very unique. And love the splotchy coloring!
