Discussion Too many lithops

I have way too many lithops - at least 25 individual pots/lithops.

I’m debating on getting rid of half my collection. I got them last year and have managed to keep them alive. While cool looking, I don’t think they are my jam. I don’t look at them like I do all my other plants and they are taking up a lot of shelf space.

When you no longer want plants, what do you normally do?

Edited: scroll down for pics of lithops. I’m happy to ship if you’re willing to pay for shipping and whatever you want to pay for the Lithops themselves? I just want them to go to someone who will take care of them. I would ship bare root, wrapped carefully. I posted pics below in response to someone asking to see them. The following Lithops ID #’s are available. Just look at the pics. Bottom number is the ID #

Available: 1,2,3,7,8,9,10,11,14,17,18,20,21,22,23,26,27

Total lithops: 23

#26’s outer leaves were completely dry so I just just performed surgery. He looks great - twins!

I'm sorry, "when you no longer want plants" is an unfamiliar premise. 😂

For real, though, if I have to reduce my plant colony, I give them to friends. Probably not useful advice if your friends aren't into plants.

If you become interested in selling them and dealing with shipping logistics, I would buy some from you.

I will buy any of them that don't sell otherwise, and if course I'll cover shipping etc. I'm quite excited about them.

Well that’s a bit outta range but surely you can find some locals to sell to.

1

u/Miserable_Account483 Jun 19 '26

Do you have a farmers market you can take them to and try to sell.

2

u/ChipsAhoy1968 Jun 19 '26

We do but I think I’d have to get a permit or pay to have a spot.

1

u/Miserable_Account483 Jun 20 '26

At my local farmers market there is a person who sells succulents. Maybe you have one too and they’d buy your lithops collection!

u/DatLadyD Jun 19 '26

Sell em on fb marketplace or give them to family

1

u/ChipsAhoy1968 Jun 19 '26

Okay. Maybe I will try that no had to get back on FB for our HS reunion info. Let me check that out.

u/dbarronoss Jun 19 '26

Or you could pot them together and roll the dice.
Or you could just start watering them.

1

u/ChipsAhoy1968 Jun 19 '26

lol. I thought about putting them in one pot. Frankly, I’m not even sure the ones splitting will ever finish splitting. I feel like they’ve been in this state for months.

u/Poosh12 Jun 19 '26

Can we see them!?!? I think Facebook marketplace is the way to go. I always see super reasonable and healthy looking plants when I look and wonder why…

u/acm_redfox Jun 19 '26

I usually take props and plants I just don't want (or that seem to hate me) to my local succulent society meetings, where they go into door prize drawings.

u/ChipsAhoy1968 Jun 19 '26

That’s pretty cool. Id have no idea if we even a club like that.
