@cooltivar lithops do start forming new leaves in winter but it's just the angle in the last photo that suggests new leaves and these lithops are so water-starved, if you look at the top photo: some of the new leaves didn't even grow enough to break out of those old husks from the previous season. My healthy lithops are busy forming new leaves, but these, I wasn't even sure if the roots were still alive. Lithops tolerate occasional watering in winter
