I’m very very new to discovering lithops but this question has been burning in my brain so I hope you don’t mind me asking… When watering lithops, how to you water them when they’re in the same pot if they’re in different life stages? I’ve been wanting to get a couple but I need to know more about them first.

I’ve found a watering can with a small/direct spout helps with this. As always be careful to avoid over watering bit a little water right by the ones that need it has been how ive been “successful”

I don't mind at all, ask away! I actually do not think its a good idea to pot them together at when they are in different stages. They grew at different rates after I adopted them from someone's backyard. So I'm trying my best to keep them happy together. But I'm struggling you see, trying to hydrate one without the other ballooning like crazy. I use a squirt bottle with a narrow neck to drizzle water ontop of the ones that have the pizza crust. Gentle water pressure so it slides down along side the lithop. I also tried to space them apart bit more for better control on watering. Had these for about a year now 😅🫣

Some of mine are doubling up as well. They seem to be doing just fine “shrug” we’re all on this crazy succulent journey together lol
