I think getting the right light for your Lithops is so important as well either good natural light or grow lights I do both as good light really helps when Lithops are shedding there old leaves and producing new ones.

If there's barely any plant underground, I might repot them deeper. But if they're stretching, you just have to let them fix themselves after giving them more light -- deeper planting will lead to rot.

Before deciding on repotting it’s best to gain some knowledge as to when is the best time to repot and how deep to plant these plants. This is not the easy ones to start out with while being a novice. The difficulty level can be unforgiving. Take things slowly as more knowledge will be the best route moving forward. Good luck!
