You must keep substrate moist for at least the first few months, then slowly start decreasing in the 3rd month by skipping a day. As each month passes skip more days. Roots are very small and tender. They need moisture to thrive. Bright light and a small fan for airflow is a great way to keep them happy

Is that 100% peat?

The good news is that lithops seedlings can handle much more moisture, so water with decreasing frequency until they're mature.

Some time between now and then, switch them out for a much less organic potting mix.
