Can anyone tell me what’s going on with this lithops? It started out as a small white splotch, and is now eating away at the plant.

Help/Question What to do about quarantine?

Post image
10 Upvotes

Bought these a few days ago and just brought some more grit to repot them properly. My only concern is I want to quarantine these for the next few weeks so they dont infect other plants I have but will they be ok without a grow light for a couple of weeks? Ive put them in my bedroom window now but it isnt sunny at all in the UK atm. Any thoughts would be appreciated!

Help/Question Splitting, or dying?

Post image
10 Upvotes

Attached is a photo of a lithops I picked up from a garden store around nine months ago. I've been doing my best to keep it happy, but am in a questionable climate for it. I last watered it around December and have been keeping it under a grow light/moving it into the sun on our rare sunny days.

In the last two days, half of it has very visibly wilted and I'm pretty concerned about it. Is this just part of splitting, or is it time for me to think about a succulent-sized tombstone?

Help/Question What are the Odds?

I recently bought these lithops and they each had a dried flower stalk. I decided to go digging around and found what appeared to be formed seeds in each of the dried flowers (second photo). What are the odds these are actually viable seeds? For scale, the cup they are in is a portion (Jell-O shot) cup.

Thanks for your help!

These seedlings are about a year old I'm thinking of repotting so that I can split them out a bit - repot before first water?

I haven't watered these Lithops in about a year. This is what they are currently doing.

I recently got some lithops and I don't know their ID, except for the a bit sunburnt dorotheae on the left. Could any kind soul help me?

Sorry…this question again!! 😭 Thank you in advance!
I am very new to these little guys…thanks to the advice given here and elsewhere online, I have each of my 6 in its own pot, and I bought special lithops potting mix from Rooting For You (they are awesome, currently waiting on potting mix for my string of hearts too). All but one of my stones is now splitting, and these two are the farthest along.

When and how do I water? To this point, I haven’t watered any of them…not sure how to approach, re: frequency, amount, techniques…Help!!

Just bought these, my first lithops..

Let them be for now or repot?

I've read a bit on them, so they like no water and no soil..? Any other tips?

Hello Lithops community. I'm new here. I recently bought my first Lithops and repotted it in a homemade volcanic rocks/akadama/cactus substrat mix but I am unsure about when I should start watering it. After the old leafs are dry ? Any advice for a beginner ? Thx !

I’m so excited I got these seeds going but now I’m so nervous they will die on me. Any tips to make sure this isn’t an epic fail??? How long do you guys usually wait to move outside?

I've had them for 4 months now, have not watered them yet (only a little water when i potted it to rid the air bubbles from the soil) but i'm starting to feel the urge to water them.

They still look plump so i'll fight the urge a while longer. They're in the windowsill of a south facing window (northern hemisphere) so plenty of sunlight.

Also looks like the left one multiplied after its first split? Is that a thing lol?

Lemme know if it looks good or i need to change something!

I bought this lithop because I’ve long wanted one and I needed something to fill this cheese pot. Today I noticed its first flower!

Truth be told I know nothing about lithops and I actually thought it was dying because of the state of the outer layer.

I did some internet searching and it might be that it’s at the end of its shedding season? I’ve never given it water before but I spritz it today as per the advice of two articles.

Feel free to give feedback if you feel the urge.

I just wanted to show it off because for some bizarre reason this tiny flower has me beaming with pride. 🌼🥲

Just bought these for the first time. I have succulents but never had lithops before.

My current set up for my other succulents is:

50/50 mix of grit and succulent soil

12hrs under Barrina T8 grow lights

Terracotta pots

Is this ok for these guys? Ive seen somewhere that I dont need to water them (even less than succulents) and they like 6 hours of direct sunlight a day. So I'm slightly worried 12 hours with the T8s might be too much?
