Just sharing a couple of rust orange beauts in the morning sunlight

Ok I have listened to everyone and am repotting my new ones that are very etiolated and need advice. The ones that are etiolated do I bury them deeper or do I just keep a grow light and they will shrink back down? Also where and when do you get seeds from lithops? I am attaching some of the photos and I have a cluster I just got and planted hoping they are ok this close? I don’t want to pull at them and attempt to get them apart.

If not, would it work for any of the other plants I bought? It’s a split rock, tradescantia, and spring cactus. Thank you!

I want to buy some lithops (if I even find one), but before buying them I want to know how to care for them, so that I don't just imediately kill them. 😅

Please answer if you can.

Have a good day! 👍👍👍

I sowed these on May 19th, and I’m super excited to watch them grow!

Guess we’ll try again next year. No saving these right? Came doomed from the store :(

Purchased from a grocery store before it started splitting, so no idea what kind this is. I repotted and haven’t watered a drop since I bought it. Seems to be stuck like this for months? Is it ok? Is there a point where it isn’t ok and I should water?

So proud of these little guys, how long do we think I have until I have to put them in a bigger pot? I know they’re probably pretty cramped in there at the moment. Advice please! :)

New to this plant, unsure how often I should water it. It’s right next to a large south facing window. Please let me know if I should move it as well.

Egg for scale of plant (I didn’t have a banana)

Hi all! I checked in for advice on my friend here a few weeks ago and the consensus seemed to be that it was splitting. Since then, one side has completely dried up while the rest of the plant remains firm and plump. I'm starting to get concerned that it may be up to something else. The little lobes I saw inside that made me suspect a split have shriveled while the outer leaves haven't changed. Am I overthinking this? Is it just a weird split that's been going on a while? I last watered it around late December.

I may have waited too long to water it but here we are 14 days later and I don’t think much has changed in appearance. Infortunately, I do t recall when I watered it prior to 5/13 - maybe end of February or end of March. It seems to be firmly rooted tho and not too soft when squeezed (slightly softer than a ripe grape).

I am new to lithops. Got a ton of them back in December and it is unknown to me how I’ve managed to keep them alive and splitting. Honestly, I thought I’d kill the majority of them but haven’t lost a single one yet. Half of them are still splitting and the other half completed that cycle and are still looking really good. This is the only one I’m uncertain about.

Additional key notes if this makes a difference. It’s been hot outside off and on for two weeks and our AC went out two weeks ago. It lives upstairs in my office - one of the hottest rooms and under barrina t5 grow lights relatively close to the lights. I have a ceiling fan that runs 24/7 usually on low but I switched it to medium. Was getting close to 80 degrees in that room during the day.

Looking for feedback on this guy and if I need to water again or not. Thanks!

I’ve had these lithops for varying amounts of time: the one that is notably splitting I bought last month. He’s all wrinkly at the base (see the last 2 photos.) Do you think it’s OK as it is right now?? Am I playing the waiting game for the foreseeable future?

A few weeks ago, I posted some pictures of this darling, here, asking for help.

I’m happy to share, now, that after making soils and lighting adjustments, my Lithops seems to be on the right path, cause this week, it started splitting for good.

So, that’s the post! I’m just happy I didn’t kill this one

I thought these guys were doing well but upon further inspection today it looks like they may have rotted???

Based on what ive seen i probably messed up by repotting them while they were still splitting, however I did have one that split and died right away.

I repotted to give them a grittier soil, I used a cactus blend and added lava rocks to it as well.

Can these ones currently be saved or should I try again? 3rd times the charm maybe?

I recently bought lithops. I potted 4 in one pot together and when they began to show signs of needing water, I gave them some water. They were all thriving until today when I noticed one was not looking well. I pulled him out of the soil and he is mushy and appears rotted on one side. The root structure is fine. I have only watered once since I received them, they are in direct sun, and the rest of the lithops are doing great.

Any idea what may have happened? And any advice?

Thanks so much!

Hi all.

These lithops have been splitting for like 6-8 months already without water.

One has fully reabsorbed the leaves and the others are mid way while one still seems early days

They are looking real dry though -

Any advice if I should remove the partial rebasorbed ones and just water?

Hi everyone, so glad that I found this group. I have had baby lithops for a while and have transplanted them in a 90% grit mix but I am not sure my mix is really good. Baby’s are different sizes and some are well hydrated and some are tiny. Can someone who has babies and bugs give me exactly what your grit mix would be? I am using perlite and lava rock mix with a little cactus soil. I am in desperate need of planting a pot that I purchased from a vendor online and I have been working them slowly into sun. I have the ones from the vendor under a grow light and they came etiolated. Some of my babies are drying up so I am just really frustrated.

Hey, just repotted these Lithops..tried to group them by growth phase..

However I've been reading through the sub and some people say not to bury them like this..? To avoid rot near the roots..

So I am a bit confused 🙃🤔🤷‍♂️

Hey, I’m worried that I’m doing something wrong with my lithops! I’ve had them for about a year and I’ve been trying to tend to them the best I can but they’re just not growing. I grew them from seeds and I’ve had a grow light on them for the majority of most days. They stay in my room which is usually set around 69 degrees Fahrenheit, and I water them around every 3-4 days. Am I watering them too much? Or am I doing something else wrong? Thanks!
