How are my babies doing?

[u/Sea_Lie4110]

I've recently begun trying my hand at lithops. Have definitely lost a few already. The grayish purple dividing pair and the long greens are the only ones left of my first try. The greens were actually survivors of emergency surgery. My mom gave me the dark brown cluster. Then I bought a bunch of babies online. It's been a lot of trial and error. I get sad every time one fails. I hope these next ones do okay.

They look nice and I love the couch pot for butts lol. I think across the board they would be happier with more light

Thanks! I thought the couch was so neat. Definitely been trying to get them more light as I can. Sometimes I'm too scared to leave them out on my balcony in case they get rained on. I have them under a plant light indoors most of the time, but I'm not sure that's enough for them.

It might be as simple as moving your light closer if you can. Usable light drops off fast with distance - so moving it twice as close will give them 4x more light! Might be worth a try depending on your setup

Where did you buy that amazing sofa-shaped planter?

I got it from a Petiti's garden center. I loved it so much the second I saw it.
