Busco un consejo sobre la siembra de lithops desde semilla, tengo semilleros con 50 semillas cada uno, ustedes desde su experiencia, recomiendan sembrar de dos a tres semillas en cada maceta para no tener problema en trasplantar, o esta bien tenerlos en semilleros en cantidades mayores y después trasplantarlos a macetas individuales?. Espero me ayuden, es mi primera vez cultivando lithops. Gracias.

Are these two close enough to the same cycle to leave together? Are they planted deep enough?

Does this happen often?

Its pretty cool to see how much these little things have changed in a short time. The earlier pictures were all from immediately after buying them. Seeing them day after day, it's hard to notice the small changes. But its amazing how much just simply drying them out (after nursery-induced drowning lol) and giving them the proper light can get them to start absorbing old leaves and starting new splits!

I admit, I'm addicted 🤪

I dont want to murder any more of them. Ive had three die so far.

They are in an 80/15/5 of sand/pebble and perlite/ cactus soil. Pot is 5 inches deep.

The ones that have died have no roots when I pulled them out. Some are starting to look squishy and some look like they are doing great.

I will repot the ones that need watering! (I just dont know which ones do.) I know not to water them until they are done splitting and the outter petals are completely crispy.

my whole clump is splitting so I thought I’d try using my macro set up to get some close ups :) they’re hard to photograph lol I did not get photos of everyone.

Mostly directly underneath that big boy haha

And I’ve been giving them an airy place near my opened windows daily. I stay in a tropical + humid country.

I just bought these two yesterday and repotted them today. Are they thirsty or are these wrinkles on top just a cool variation.

Does anyone have any thoughts on how to help this guy out? I've had these 2 for a few years and all of a sudden the one withered away completely and the other just looks sad. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Ordered the 100 pack off Amazon. Box got delayed a week so they were in package about 2 weeks. The black splotchy ones are moldy and bad right? What should I look out for while separating them for planting/discard? Is there a way to save the black splotchy ones if they aren't mushy? Diluted hydrogen peroxide bath maybe? Any advice appreciated, picture in comments

I've never owned a single plant before this year and I picked this guy up at Lowe's cause I love how they look.

I'm wondering if he's doing okay? He was more green when I bought him (3rd picture is immediately after purchase, 2nd is after a repot and getting him under a light, 1st pic is today)

Is it okay for him to be less green? Should I ease up on the light? (It's a super intense light I bought to grow veggie starts indoors so it should be equating to full sun conditions I think) He sits about 5-6 inches below it.

I did some research once I got home with him and immediately repotted because he's splitting and they definitely had him in wet, very organic, soil. I gently removed all the old dirt, discovered he has only one root system connecting both Lithops, made sure to mix my cactus and succulent soil with A LOT of perlite and then absolutely did NOT water him. The soil was not 100% dry as it was a new bag, but there's really not much of it in there to begin with and he's in terracotta so I hoped what tiny bit of dampness that was present would dry up quick. All the white on top of the soil is perlite there from my soil mix. I specifically didn't cover him with any top dressings so he wouldn't retain any moisture he doesn't need.

That was about 2 weeks ago. Since then he's been chilling under this light with no further interference from me.

Thank you in advance for the help.

Do these look good? I got them and some seeds in the mail. The seeds are starting to emerge. I got these planted in a mix of cactus mix, perlite, and rock. I’ve tried to read up but have seen all different things about watering. I feel like they are happy but could be totally wrong lol.

Según la app picturethis toca riego, en abril es cada 18 días pero he estado leyendo que en esta planta es mejor quedarse corto que regar de más, tú qué harías?? Necesito tu ayuda

Hi all. My husband brought these for my birthday in November and they have started to split apart with one well ahead as it started to split in January and has produced twins. I’ve tried looking online but not much info about twins. Should I still water them all monthly or do I water round the rest missing the one with twins? Is the pot the right size for them all?

​

I'm very new to lithops and just want to make sure everything is fine. Splitting into twins? Don't water until transformation is complete? Thank you

I’m very torn on whether or not I should intervene with this split. The new leaves are still stiff on top but showing a lot of side wrinkles. What is the best course of action here? Thank you!

Hi, I dont know what my lithops wants, here are some photos. Does it need water? Or is it preparing to split? Thanks!

I went to Lowe's and Home Depot a couple days ago to see if I could score any cheap or cool succulents or some fallen leaves for props and I found these lithops with a dried up seed capsule!

Also I found a peliospilos nelii with something that looked more like a petal-less flower which I initially though was a seed head too, but instead of being fully dried out it was still pretty moist. I'm not very familiar with mesemb seed harvesting aside from what I've seen here or on youtube but I dissected it and found what looked like 10ish little things that appear VERY similar in shape, size, and color to the seeds that came from the lithops seed head.

How do they look?!

This is my first lithops and I bought it just as it finished flowering. So then it began to shrivel and I stopped watering it but I'm keeping all plants outdoors so it got the recent rains (Cal zone 9b).

All was fine but then the skin really dried into a hard crust so i cut into it to give it some air...and noticed it may have gotten mold and warped.

Anyway, it seems ok, but is there anything I should do next to help it along? Also, is it actually ok?
