Is your pot to big ? maybe ? I'd suggest to water but the cactus is a bit confusing

Jessica - I think your Argyroderma would do well by itself in a small pot on it's own. They require a lot of light. I think you can still wait longer before watering - if it gets too much, the leaves can split.

"She was fine this morning. Ive not water them for a little over a week. After sitting her into the sun I went back out hours later and she looked like this"

What I understand from this is that you put the plants in full sun w/o adjusting them gradually to the increased light. I did this with my argys last year on accident. I moved them and they made a comeback. I think yours is still okay if you can adjust the sunlight.

I also agree that the plants will do much better in separate pots.

Just wanted to add that wrinkly Argyroderma/Mesembs are completely normal.

It's a natural cycle of being plump, then shrivelling, then getting plumped back up again.

Succulents close their stomata to reduce water loss in arid environments, but they can still use up water to cool themselves down.

When these burn, it normally leaves whitish scarred tissue.

Some have grown the muti plant succulents in a single pot with success. I'm pretty certain your Lithops and Agroderma could do well in the same pot ( if the pot where sized correctly) but if me I would option to leave the cactus in it's own pot as I preference to have everything here in separate pots.

Reasoning if something can go wrong ( as it usually does)with one plant it goes wrong for all plants.

IMO ( In my opinion) Any suggested watering would also be relative to what your soil materiel is made of and the actual growing conditions you have it in.

Your potted plants looks like it's being kept inside In my experience I've not ever had any full sun Agroderma or full sun lithops burn while being kept inside here which suggest ( keeping them red arrows in mind) they don't like heat.

Thanks,

She recovered and is no longer Shriveled. I think it was the Hot, Mid day sun that did that too her. I did put her out in the sun from the shade which probably shocked her. I have since moved the cacti, Lithop, and Agroderma into their own separate smaller pots.

I seen videos of people making all these pretty planters/Arrangements in which they had Cacti and Succulents all together in the same pot. I'm guessing its not wise to do that...That they only do it for looks instead of plant health. I even took out my Golden glow stone-crop and put them in a separate pot so that I can monitor them on their own.

Theres so much conflicting information on the internet and in youtube videos I started to panic and was worried I would lose her. Thanks for all the advice. I truly appreciate it.

Jessica, good that plant recuperated. And you are so right - too much conflicting info around. I believe it is best to seek info (about anything, not only succulents) on forums similar to this one, where 'geeks' on that particular subject/product exchange tips and ideas.

Update on plants shown in this post.

Thanks for the follow up .They look great even with out a magnifying glass.No idea if the cactus should look like that though yet the pups ( the little guys and on the bottom) do look really good.

The brownish looking damage/spots look like they could be oedema, usually caused by overwatering at some point. No long term harm except for aesthetics.

Nomen, I am Actually not feeling confident about the cactus either. Ive Zero experience in cacti. This is my first and only one. The pups do look good from what I can tell. The bottom of the cactus has some weird looking coloration and texture too it. I'll try to get a better picture for ya. Also the peaks of the cacti look a bit pinched off? My friend told me I wasn't watering it enough...And now I fear Ive watered it too much.

I promise I am doing a a lot of reading about each individual plant and their care but I am getting a lot of conflicting info about sun and watering which is why I like to ask people on here so that I can show them pictures and get several opinions. So that people may correct me in my wrong doings haha. If I murder one of these guys I'm going to feel so guilty.

I feel like a new mother, Too over-protective for her own good.

Some type of Mammillaria maybe ? The second pic does show some signs of sun burn which can happen under the following conditions.

Watering when to warm a when watered maybe you used to much water. Asking when you watered did you return it to the same warm brightness right after ?

Thoughts on this from me are an old statement

Most every plant does not like any sudden changes cati for example do enjoy a drink and they will enjoy that drink when it's cooler. For example it doesn't rain in the middle of a zero clouds in the sky full sun day when it's already 85 - 98 degrees F ( and sometimes even warmer) then it's probably not a good idea to water yours.

Just as a pointer what I do is let my arid type cacti cool down for a day or two ( Move them to an area that's still very bright but cooler ) for at least one day prior to watering, on the cooler time of the third day I return Arid cacti to there FULL HARD SUN original location in the evening Your watering method may vary.

In reference ( and a PIA) an Arid land type cati moving may need to happen as often as three times during the summer here and would also get what ever rain does fall on it during the hottest parts of summer. ( which is usually none to very little) I tend to think if a summer rain is going to happen an arid lands cacti is going to feel it coming and ready s it's self ( knowing it's going to rain) long before we see or feel the rain.

Off topic but I often see some of my summer growing Euphorbia start to sweat & swell 2-3 hours before it rains. (Even then we wont always get the Euphorbia promised tells of rain)

One note is for certain a burnt Mam ( other than aesthetics) is not always a bad thing but would try to fond a place that's a little cooler ( shaded) during the middle of the day.

Note my watering method should not to be taken as good news either I oddly favor tropical type cacti and don't have many arid type cacti.
