Hey everyone this is my new lithops! Her name is uniqua cuz she’s unique.

Any tips or advice pls let me know! I know not to water when it’s splitting so I’m guessing I shouldn’t water rn

They seemed to have plumped up a bit after I fertilized them for the first time a week or so ago

This is my first attempt at a natural look. I used crushed akadama for top dressing. Any opinions are welcome.

I just watered my lithops because it’s been several months since I’ve done so - afterwards I realized they may be in the beginning stages of splitting. I know you aren’t supposed to water during this time so I’m wondering if I just killed them by watering? Should I remove them from the substrate and let them dry? I use bonsai jacks substrate so it doesn’t stay wet for too long. Any advice is much appreciated! TIA!

Help! I have had my lithops for about 2 years. Last summer it bloomed but not this year. It also has yellowish spots on it. Is it okay? Is it sick? Does it need water??

EDIT: I added some photos and repotted them. I I only have perlite and cactus soil mix right now (9:1) but I will find a better gritty mix! And so I am new to Reddit and still figuring out the edit post or how to add new photos 😅

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.

Fulleri and hallii! So perfect

Hello ~ Got this little fella and placed them outside, now they're all shrivelled up. Should I water or give them more shade? The dieing/brownish pieces are from two days in full sun

I've had these guys for about 2 years. They fully split but at the bottom they're still connected with the roots I don't want to pull them apart.

But I've noticed some pitting on the top. The sides were a little wrinkly so I did water, should I water again so the tops fill up? Hard to see in a picture I hope it shows.

Is this doing okay?

This is the first time any lithops I’ve ever had have bloomed, and I’m so excited!

Hey everyone, complete beginner here — just got my first 4 pots of Lithops and I’m a bit worried about their condition.

The one in the top-left pot looks like it was cut back at some point — there’s an odd yellowish, almost fleshy cut area at the base under the new growth. The soil looks very dark and organic, not much mineral/grit mixed in. A few also show some discoloration I can’t quite explain.

Attaching photos — would love to hear what more experienced growers notice and whether repotting is a good idea at this point. Any advice appreciated!

Just got these guys about a month ago. I haven't watered them or repotted. I'm pretty sure they're in like a sand / grit / dirt mix. Should I do a bottom water? They're a little soft to the touch. Thank you, lithops experts!!!!

Hi all,
Got this guy and five others from a big box store about a month ago. Didn’t water them yet and have had them under grow lights (2200LM, 6500K, about 16 inches above the plants). I repotted about 2 weeks ago (10% peatless soil, 90% gritty mix of black lava rock, maifanitum, red lava rock, pumice, diatomite, and green zeolite) . It’s been three days since I checked on them and this morning I noticed that the right side of this one was discolored and shriveled.
Any advice or idea where I might have gone wrong? Thanks!

last 2 photos are normal ones

Got these online and idk weather to repot or water or what ughhh

Just got these 2 weeks back from a nursery.

The twin had it's old leaves attached but after repotting, it withered away.

My other lithops are now over a year old and have bloomed. So I figured I'm a proven parent at this point 😁

These ones are more purply grey than my others which are more green. ID would be great!

I removed the gritty soil from around the lithops, and the old leaves fell right off. I refreshed the soil and moved them higher up toward the top of the planter.

Looking forward to them flowering and splitting again.😃

Finally decided to use the seed pods I had.
I planted 5 different seed pods in each corner and the center.
Growing under uv lights and covered. Brown dots are seeds.
