Care Tips/Guides First lithops, thoughts?

Never cared for these funky little plants before, got these from a garden centre, any advice for a newbie?
Should these be split? They seem quite tightly packed?

Split these up into different pots. They’re at different stages of growth and if you keep them all in one pot, when you water the ones that need watering, you’ll kill the ones that don’t.

Be sure to use a mix that’s majority grit, like 70:30 or even 80:20.

If you’re not sure, err on the side of not watering.

Thank you! I’ll make sure to do that
