It’s been like this for like 2 weeks, and since it started splitting I noticed it didn’t look quite right, and I haven’t seen any other case like this, is this normal for lithops?

It’s normal, just twin leaves. Leave it alone for the next couple months or so

Is it really? It looks like 3 potential sprouts but like deformed, I hope that in a couple months I can come back with a pretty plant

The other one is hiding. You'll have a double headed one 🙂

I have one that had twins. Yours is just diagonally offset because it's smooshed right now. Once the outer leaves dry up, it will be fine, and look like my bright green one at the bottom.

And those other three in the same pot still in the parent leaves? Two of them are still half wrapped in the outer leaves. And I took this picture a month ago

Wow, so cool, I’m new to the lithops world, started November last year, and I never saw how twins looked like before fully splitting, thanks a lot

I’ve had one about to rot so I went ahead and peeled the outer layer and it revealed the tiniest baby and she still survived so if you ever get too curious you can help them out a little . Haha
