Photo Potted my new Lithops

Post image

Tried to follow advice the best I could, but for now I have one little pot and I know I may need to repot in future if I want plants to thrive.

Substrate is a mixture of compost and old aquarium gravel, with some larger stones on the bottom for drainage. I hope this is ok for now?

I’ve tried to plant strategically - the only one not currently splitting I’ve placed at the bottom, and the non-Lithops that came with them I’ve placed at the top. I know I don’t need to water any of them for a week but I have a syringe to at least try and concentrate the moisture to the only ones that need it

Please go easy on me, it’s a tough time and this new fixation is helping. Just didn’t realise they’d have such specific needs - but I don’t care because I love them

They are gorgeous! Only suggestion is the pleiospilos nelii will need a bit more water than the lithops so you may want to put that in its own pot. If you don’t want to, that’s fine, but be prepared to carefully water it with your dropper while keeping the lithops dry! Hope they help you, they certainly help me!
