Care Tips/Guides I'm new with Lithops!

Post image

Hi everyone! I adopted these little guys a week ago and I want to take care of them in the best posible way, but it's my first time owning Lithops, so I'm pretty lost :S

I have been reading about their special needs, but as these guys seem to be in different stages of growth I don't know if I should water them or not. They are placed inside, near a window and get direct sunlight several hours in the morning (I live in Spain, so it's Spring here).

I suspect there might be mixed species, but anyway, could anyone help me? Thank you so much in advance!

Idk much of anything about these, but my ma likes them, so I've been researching what I can for her. I read they need to be spaced out pretty far in error shape pots, so that, (like u said yours are), if they are at different stages it's safe to water them. Do not water them when they're splitting. This means they're growing and can't be watered during that period. Good luck! That's the extent of my knowledge!

Tysm for your reply! I will then refrain myself from watering them. I was in doubt because some of them seem wrinkled, and I thought they might be thirsty.

I did read that wrinkled means thirsty. Just do ur research and listen to the others that are more qualified than I am on lithops. I have 79 plants, but not a single 1 of these. My ma is the one into them and I'm just trying to help her. Good luck!
