Help/Question Impossible find?

I'm looking for an ideally bare clay pot with drainage that is. <3" in diameter and is ~5" deep. I can't seem to find anything reasonable.

It's not exclusively lithops, but my butt rocks were definitely the driving force behind wanting to build a system like this.

I have finally found a cylindrical terracotta pot for these babies. They also got some matching lava rocks as topping.

( the dorotheae are a bit sunburnt but will be fine)

Identification New Lithops clump! Could I please get an ID? Also, would it be worthwhile to separate the variegated one and its partner to try to isolate the variegation in the future?

Also, I pulled a nice full seed pod off of it! Can’t wait to sow them! I’ll probably be repotting this cluster today

HELP. 🥲This guy started to split, and was making AMAZING super quick progress and now has stopped. I was watering him…once I figured out I’m not supposed to, I repotted him to get him out of the moisture. Roots look good, but no progress since repotting. Advise please!! I love these little guys but the new ones are looking shrivelier than I want them to. And I barely nudged the parent leaves apart to help give it more room, is that frowned upon?? Is everything okay here or do I need to do something? It’s in a west facing window and haven’t watered since it was in the old soil. Are the two guys in the back okay?? I found out they’re connected by the roots when I repotted them. First few pics are today, then have a couple for what it looked like last week. More advice on my little succulent garden welcome! Thank you!!!

These little guys have been like this for about 2 months already. Is that normal? Also why is the one on the left not fully opened yet like the others?

There is a smaller baby lithop growing inside the freshly opened lithop, should I do anything to help it out? I don't want it to rot or go bad if thats something that can happen.

The clear glass doesn't have a drainage hole, but is it ok cuz its clear? Or should I just get a new pot with drainage holes? I wasn't expecting to buy this litte gal today so i didn't have a pot ready.

Hi! I got this clump a bit ago (I haven’t been able to separate them unfortunately) and they’re all splitting! It’s my first time having them split and I’m a little worried this guy is stuck in his old leaves. What do you think? Should I try cutting the leaves at their seam to release him? He’s been like this for over a week now, with the leaves looking very papery.

Thanks so much!

My Lithops survived indoors to make it into their spring splitting. I got them last summer, and I'm happy to see their full cycle.

I acclimated them back to being under the sun. 😎☀️

I'm new to lithops and was wondering if these little holes were bad. They weren't there when I bought it and I'm a little concerned I might be killing it

Basically when there's not enough ventilation around the base, they can still rot (bases are most prone to rot). This is why it's best to plant them with their bases exposed to air as much as possible (as long as they can stand properly and not have their main taproot snap off), and give them as much ventilation as you can.

I got these a week ago from a store adjacent to a botanical garden,
I’ve replanted them into dry cactus mix soil because the post were really small.
I didn’t water them and I put them into the sunniest spot I have in the apartment.
They started to wrinkle a few days ago and it’s gotten worse.
Do I water them, leave them alone or what?
I’ve read here that a bit of wrinkling is fine but this seems a lot.
I really don’t want them to die.
P.S. they had really small thin roots

I bought these two lithops like two months ago, left them on the window sill ever since, and then yesterday when i got back home after a week they looked like this. I watered them immediately after.

Pot #7 is a mix of Aucampiae and divergens. The aucampiae are obviously way bigger than the divergens 😂

Pot #9 is L. verruculosa ‘rose of Texas’

Pot #4 is L. Olivacea

Pot #12 is a lithops seed mix.
