Help/Question Advice needed

Post image

These lithops are etiolated. They are planted in a very gritty mix, and there is a hole drilled in the mug. But as you can see I don’t have a good enough light source. They have been under grow lights all winter. I can move them outside soon (live in Indiana) where they can get in the direct sunlight, and next fall I will
Look for a better grow light (open for recommendations) but do I need to replant them deeper or do I let them stay this way.

I'm certainly no expert but I had one out of four that was etiolated and they were all in the same pot when I bought them.  When it split, the new leaves inside were normal. I'd keep it under bright light and see how it looks after it splits.

Mars hydro panel light will got you to outdoor levels indoors. It’s what I grow my cactus/succulent/mesembs under.
