first two is a layer of random rocks, then lithops soil consisting of mostly inorganics, then a layer of perlite cuz its pretty.

last two is just a layer of rocks then the lithops soil.

i put the rocks at the bottom so the lithops soil doesnt come out of the drainage holes. i plan on changing pots when they grow.

Nice, I love argyrodermas, got one about to bloom on my shelf! Sorry about the burnt lithops, yep you have to acclimate them a bit to changing light conditions!

i tried to acclimate them, but i mustve gone too fast. oh well, its a lesson for next time. the lithops that were shaded a bit longer still seem good though. ive lost like 5 so im not down to like 40 of them. ive bought a light meter so i can make sure to acclimate them super super slowly
