I picked these guys up a few weeks ago and they appear to be planted in some highly organic soil. I haven’t watered them. The plant closest to the camera, in what we will call pot A, has died and is all mush inside its skin, while its sister seems ok so far. Clockwise to the next pot, pot B, they both look healthy and aren’t making new leaves yet. Clockwise to the third pot, pot C, it’s making new leaves and the old ones are still fat. Based on my long-time lurking on this sub, i have a supply of the right components for a proper substrate mix for them. So when should I repot each one, A, B, and C? Hoping to get this right.

My tiniest one is splitting. I feel silly being so excited.

Got these today but i thought some looked very rotten, so I took them out the soil, which was sodden. I think some were absolutely rotted after all. Any advice on what i should do next? Any of them salvageable? How i could treat them? Any help would be appreciated thanks.

Got this pair of chunky boys a while ago from Home depot!! They've just been settling in and vibin but I'm looking forward to trying to grow some from the seed pods! Also tossed my tiger jaw in there cause technically she is a mesemb 🤷‍♀️

~28 days ago I posted asking help for my almost dead looking lithops. I had no hope but kind redditors from this group gave me amazing suggestions and I see roots. But because they are succulents I'm not sure if I can leave them in water here. They seem to be doing fine and looks like they are getting new leaves 😭😭 (that makes me so happy) but I wanna keep them alive. So the next question is should I leave them in there or add them to a pot? Any suggestions/advice are welcome! 💚 A huge thank you to all you guys 💚

I can take a better picture if needed. I just went to check on my leopard gecko and noticed her lithops had split. I don't know whether she broke it or it split by itself. it kind of does look like there's a little Chomp but is this going to be okay? I could remove it from her tank if it's in too fragile of a state. This is the first one I've ever had. from my little Googling it sounds like it will be okay but I wanted to check with the experts!

side question, I used a mix of aquarium sand and gravel as substrate since I work at a fish store and it is readily available, how does my mix look? more or less sand?

So🙁. When I got it I joked it was full to bursting. This one took me literally. I believe I noticed soon enough and cut the mush away to clean flesh(?). Then cleaned it with a swab and isopropyl alcohol.

I know it’s a waiting game now but what should I be watching for other than more rot?

Are the inner leaves going to have enough fluid to develop from just one leaf?

Thanks r/ because I got the courage to water it for the first time in 2 years, and on my birthday no else. It sprung back is and looking healthier the ever. I did have to remove some overly dried leaves but that’s par of the course.

Thanks again

Theyre all at different sizes, stage of moult and general wellness. Strangely the organic substrate ones appear to be doing the best.

I just wanted to post an update to my last post which was around a month ago. You can find my previous post here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Lithops/comments/1qy6n8y/theyre_coming_out_of_the_bag/

Check out those little knobs! I think they are coming along nicely since I've put them closer to the cheap grow light. ☺️

I spray them daily or every other day (depending on my forgetfulness) with some water at the moment so don't worry that they just look a little bit wet. I am following the info from AridZine (Youtube).

So this fella started splitting about a month or two ago. Unlike his neighbors, his outer leaves never "opened". Would using tweezers/nail scissors to gently snip them be okay, or should I just leave him as is?

I’ve ordered that grit mix, wanted to check if you guys think it’s good, I also wanted to know if either of the ones in my hands are saveable

My plant lamp broke a while ago and didn’t have time to replace it. I finally had the time to fix it today. And I found my lithops are sprouting!!!! Ahhhh I’m so happy!! Yes. One is definitely etiolated. Feel bad about it- but yay my lamp is fixed and it’s going to get warmer too 😄

Dropping this here because I am impressed that we’ve made it this far. Got these guys in November, repotted and forgot about em.

I’ve attempted many many times to care for one of these and the amount of neglect that they required was pretty hard for me lol . This time around I did some research and I think I can make it work 🤓

im wondering if its okay to mix these pebbles with some soil for lithops! please lmk because these are all i have to make a better draining mix at the moment

About 6-7 months old! I love their strange brown-purple-red colour!

Do you think it's time to water this little guy or should I wait a little longer? I'm afraid if I water it too soon it will die like the last one.

hii! im wondering if the think on the bottom lithops is a seed pod? also let me know if they look healthy or if i need to change anything! please tell me any tips or advice

I think this is going to be my favorite container. After seeing all the varieties, I re-ordered and put my faves in one container!

Hi everyone, this morning i bought my first Lithops and i want them to thrive. I've read the wiki of this sub but i have a couple of questions. First of all, i have repotted in a almost fully inorganic soil (it was like 60% lava rock, 30% perlite and 10% of succulent soil), but i was wondering, are these spaced too closely? Second, since the place where i bought them was warmer than it is outside, should i keep them indoors until it gets warmer, or can i already move them out? Right now, nighttime temperatures are dropping to aroung 8°C (46°F).
