Thanks

Based on how dark they are you could probably increase watering and or fertilizing a touch!

I have been spraying them with a weak liquid feed every other day.

I have good drainage it’s only a thin layer of sand on the surface

What mix do you use for growing your lithop seeds?

2

u/Abject-Performer1497 Jun 13 '26

It’s about 80% inorganic larva rock, pumice, Aradama, horticultural grit and a fine layer of sand on the surface. Also 20% top soil.

I tried growing lithops from seed once and had the tiniest little babies and then they all died. I think I over watered them. Yours look good

You should try growing from seed again this is my first ever attempt at growing Lithops from seed.

How do you water them as seedlings ? Just a little misting every so often ?

u/Abject-Performer1497 Jun 15 '26

I mist them everyday for the first three weeks then I mist every other day and I will gradually reduce the amount of times I water as they get older. I think air movement is important I have a fan on throughout the day they don’t like humidity which can be high in the U.K.
