I received with July order. Soil is completely dry, but do I still NOT water till fall? And I want to transplant to my own pot right away and plan to use gritty mix. Do I still wait to water till the fall?

Good question! If you're growing this one indoors, its dormancy cycles can get a little off, so I wouldn't be too concerned about the month of the year. The real key is to use firmness of the inner leaf pair to determine if the plant needs water. Only water when the soil is completely dry and the inner leaf pair starts to feel like it's deflating. And good for you using gritty mix! It's really ideal for this type of succulent.
