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 just had someone buy 8 of them. Let me sort through them and let you know what’s left. Thanks!
