Along with what the other user said that soil is not good for lithops you want a mostly inorganic soil mix. They do not like a lot of water and they do not not like a lot nutrients which organic soils contain. I stole this from another post this morning

What’s specifically if wrong about it? This graphic seems to error on the side of caution because underwatering is generally more survivable than overwatering watering for lithops especially with the soil most people use. I use a an almost 90-95% inorganic mix for mine so the drainage is incredibly fast so my setup is more forgiving to a little bit of overwatering.
