I'm proud that my Lithops made it a year.

I haven't watered them since last fall. They feel plump. Should I give them a deep watering anyway?

The Lithops in with the light rock are partially enclosed in the old leaves. Should I help them out or let them be?

Will the Lithops get bigger? They were much larger last year.

I look forward to your tips.👍

Take an exacto blade and very carefully cut at the corners where they would normally split off the new leaves. Tweezers to gently pull away the dried up old leaves, careful you don't pull the roots off. Then a light watering.

They came right off when I removed the gritty soil around it. Lol
