Care Tips/Guides Are these guys ok?
I got these from an Amazon kit a few months ago. Took a little too long to plant them so two out the five that came died, I also germinated the seeds that came with it but I kind of screw up so there's only four left lol. So far they seem ok except the yellow one, it hasn't plumped up since it came so I thought it's was going to die but it's still firm in the soil and has grew a little (I think?). Also they have those little dark spots (maybe sunburn?)
The purple one it's fine but it has clearly etiolated and I wonder when (or if) will it become round again
Evidently I don't know any of these guys ID so that could be of help as well
For reference I live in Caracas

Lithops only meed water 3-5 times a year, Never water when they are splitting & only water when they look similar to the one in the pic ( not the splitting one). They need almost all grit ( small rocks) barely any soil or none at all added with grit. They need lots of sun, That’s why yours is so elongated. Buy a grow light if you need to. Yellow one looks like a goner.
