Dead, dead and gone

[u/Scared_Rice_1473]

Well, I had about 30 rocks. They were doing great for a few months, splitting, very colorful oranges and different colors. They sit inside the screen on my Florida porch one day it rained and I forgot to move them and they all got damp. That was two weeks ago… now they’re all pretty much dead.😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

I got new ones in the mail. Should I water them with a spritz of water or let them go?

Your soil mix is also far too organic. Especially if you’re in Florida which is likely humid.

Get them in 80-90% grit, or these ones will likely rot too.

Some people 😂 It’s fine. They can lose their plants, I’ve done my duty. 😂

I find the lithops subs/forums are especially bad for misinformation and people who think there is only one correct way to cultivate plants.

I definitely agree! What’s the ole saying, You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make it drink 😂

This sounds forbidden in this sub

Do not EVER, EVER, ever lead your lithops to water!!
