In the
winter
season the plant doesn’t need
watering, but they will still be
growing, the new
bodies will be increasing in size as the old outer
leaves begin to shrivel. In fact the plant in this time
extracts
water and
nutrient stored in the outer
succulent leaves, allowing them to
dehydrate relocating the water to
the rest of the plant and to the new leaves that form during this period until the old leaves are reduced to nothing more than
"thin papery shells".
