Baby Toes can be damaged by too much water around its roots. Check the growing medium and seasonal growth instead of following a rigid watering schedule.
The leaf windows are part of the plant
Baby toes, Fenestraria, has upright succulent leaves with translucent tips. Keep those tips clean of loose debris without rubbing them or burying a nursery plant deeper merely to copy a wild photograph.
Give strong light gradually
Choose a bright position and acclimate a plant raised under cover. Protect it from sudden scorching exposure and unsuitable freezing conditions. Tall, stretched new leaves call for a light review, not stronger feed.
Use a very open root medium
Choose a small draining pot and a suitably gritty succulent mix. Water in line with active growth and thorough root-zone drying rather than maintaining constant dampness. Avoid trapping water in a closed outer vessel.
Inspect before responding to wrinkles
A little aging tissue differs from widespread softness or splitting. Check the root zone, recent watering and growth stage first. Do not force repeated soaking simply to keep every old leaf perfectly full, and obtain species-specific guidance for a prolonged seasonal slowdown.
