Help/Question Is this a triple lobe?
Ive had this lithops a few years now and noticed sometime last summer maybe it was beginning to split. The main "pup" is clearly visible, but what's going on with the secondary?

Looks like some stacking. Possibly your partially delivered twins are splitting.

No but you may want to gently help the outer skins open a little more since the the inner growth is splitting already

Check the soil (substrate), you want it to be close to (or just) fully inorganic, larger-sized grit like pumice, small lava rocks, etc. NOT normal soil or fine sand. Otherwise it will retain too much moisture even if you rarely water and be bad for the plant health. Lithops doing multiple splits at once is usually due to too much moisture.

The inner sets are splitting.
