Soft leaves can indicate a couple different things.
A new Split Rock needs to be transplanted into a pot with a drainage hole and very gritty, well-draining soil like this Bonsai Jack Gritty Mix. It should be grown on a sunny windowsill or outdoors in part to full sun if the weather is mild. Do not water for at least a week after transplanting.
After that, Split Rocks should only be watered after the innermost leaf pair feels soft. So softness can be a normal sign of thirst, but it can also indicate heat stress or rot if a Split Rock was watered before it was ready. These are some of the more drought-tolerant succulents and should be watered extremely infrequently.
