This plant went dormant pretty early in the spring and dropped all its leaves. Just yesterday I saw fresh activity, which struck me as odd given the season... but no complaints here! The other winter growers here (Fouquieria species) have slowed way down for the summer but not actually quit growing yet. I guess that's because I'm doing what Mad at Grigsby cactus told me... watering them to keep them in leaf, instead of cutting off the water when they show signs of fatigue.
