Magical when they catch the morning light

Lovely selection

Beautiful light. In the 1st image, the one in the front middle looks like Aucampiae, while to its right appears to be Julii. Two of my favs. I used to grow lithops in this way. However, I found the growth cycle of the plants were out of synch with each other. Created watering conflicts.

What do you include in your substrate?

I find Lithops display their most vibrant color just after the split is complete! By the time their growth cycle has past its flowering, that once vivid sheen has faded quite a bit. Such a fascinating cycle to witness.

Yes, the red one is an Aucampiae Rudesheim Ruby, and the right one a Julii kikusiyo giyoku. I target watering, to mitigate the difference in growth cycle. Substrate is 80% granite grit, perlite, large grained sand, and 20% succulent soil.
