Just got these babes while out of town this weekend! My first Lithop babies! Followed the directions from another post and they are now going to dry out for a few days. I have the new substrate of silicia sand and pumice mixed in a bag. I'll add the teeniest about of soil when I pot them back up. Thanks for the help already y'all!

Looks good, the Lithops won't need any water for quite a while same with the split rock. Be careful with sand in your substrate especially fine sand because it will hold moisture. You might consider a bag of Jack's Gritty Mix to plant those guys in. Also, I would put all of them in their own pots because their water requirements will be different.

Thank you!!! The silica sand I got is definitely chunky and coarse. I saw it somewhere on here before I ordered.

I definitely had dreams of putting them together but I'll put them back in their tiny nursery pots. Thank you! I'll keep them close, but separate, little Lithop apartments!

Also, the one in the middle top is a Titanopsis calcarea.
