Why Large Lithops Often Shrink Drastically When They Get New Leaves/ Checking Lithops Root Health

I got these lithops in 2016 from a big box store, and they were overwatered and abused. They shed their leaves last year but lost all their roots in the process. So now, almost a year later I’m checking for the first time to see what their root systems look like now. Their care and watering schedule changes based on how developed and healthy, or shriveled and dead the roots look like. So I’m giving them a quick look over and thought you guys might like to come along!
