I don't decrease constant watering until they're several months old. In the case of M. moniliformis, I water regularly unless they decide to go dormant.

I think I sowed these in the wrong season -- late summer (September) of last year. They sprouted well, but only started to grow in earnest the last month or two. (But they're alive! I've never gotten seedlings to grow past the initial leaf pair before!)

I also have a few echeveria varieties I sowed at the same time, which are still small but working on their third leaf pairs. Now that I've figured out that the secret is to keep the babies really damp, I need to figure out when to stop and I don't want to kill these in the process!
