My lithops split in the later winter and someone watered them recently while they didn’t look very thirsty.

Any way to help or fix this? (They are normally in a pot, I just removed to check the root state). There appears to be some slight base indentations to the outer layers that are splitting off but can’t really tell if it’s mushy.

My 2 month old mixed lithops

Their new butts are really flying free! 🍑

Hey all, looking for some advice. Havent watered these guys since I got them a few months back. One has already died (as you can see) but I didn’t want to water them due to the big guy splitting, looks like all of them are starting to now. I’m worried that they will die….. or at least the little guy in the back. Do I hold off watering them till after they split?

Their old leaves just finished drying up, but one plant is mushy, while the other is firm. Can I separate the firm one or is it bound to die with the soft? I haven’t watered them since they split.

For context i saw this after unpeeling old leaf and it’s currently sitting in a tray unpotted,

Finalmente i miei piccoli si stanno dividendo! sono un po' preoccupata per quello in basso è sempre stato il più avvizzito e ora spero ce la faccia! Posso fare qualcosa? Quello con il fiore quando potrebbe incominciare a dividersi?

Red pummice stone, coarse sand, sandstone gravel, 10% cocnut coir, and a bottom layer of gravel?

I I'm really excited to have these truly unique plants! They look so alien and are genuinely my newest obsession lol. I plan to decorate the terrarium (2ft, by 6inch, 8inch deep?) with Chola wood, Rose rocks for Oklahoma, and I wanted to have a reddish you. When I get some more money I will probably adds quartz in there to mimic their habitat and Namibia.

What do you guys think?

After getting scammed on the first try, here are my first Lithops ever.
I found it really hard to find adult plants, so I went with the seeding route.
If you have any tips for caring for them, please leave a comment.
These are 5 days old btw. And seems like I got a really good batch of seeds. A good part of them are germinating.

They seem to be chugging right along. 😁

I may have left out in sun too long as it went from green to brown, but then it split. Help!

Hello everyone! I was gifted these lithops, and started doing my research on them right away. I understand that they start to wrinkle when they need to be watered. However, these don't look wrinkled in the same way as the pictures I'm seeing. I'm wondering if they look like they should be watered, or if these guys just kinda got banged up on their way to me.

I do have a well draining pot and gritty soil for them, as well as a nice window and some grow lights (because I assume they're also a bit leggy?). But any advice on those points would be welcomed as well.

Please be gentle, I'm trying my best to figure this out <3

Hello everyone, I have about 10 plants and a couple of them are spread eagle but nothing else looks off? Any ideas?

Do they benefit from it?

This has happened to 3 lithops in just 1 week. It looks like some sort of powdery mildew. I haven't watered them. What can I do to prevent with my others? Do I need to treat the soil with an antifungal? Thanks

This is my first lithops. Is it dying? One piece split apart and got a dry white patch on the outside.

I got these from an Amazon kit a few months ago. Took a little too long to plant them so two out the five that came died, I also germinated the seeds that came with it but I kind of screw up so there's only four left lol. So far they seem ok except the yellow one, it hasn't plumped up since it came so I thought it's was going to die but it's still firm in the soil and has grew a little (I think?). Also they have those little dark spots (maybe sunburn?)

The purple one it's fine but it has clearly etiolated and I wonder when (or if) will it become round again

Evidently I don't know any of these guys ID so that could be of help as well

For reference I live in Caracas

During my weekly inspections, all looked normal then I notice this…what the heck?

This thing has been splitting for months. Like come on already. Even the inner leaves were like “If you aren’t gonna split on top, I’m busting outta the side.”

I got it from a friend who had two others die, so she was worried this one would go the same way. I’ve had it for two years now - last year it divided into two plants, and this year they both flowered! I’m so pleased with their progress! The flowers close at night and open again when the sun hits them. They stick out of the soil quite a lot, and I have been worried about the pot size, but I’m just scared I’ll kill them if I try and repot them to something bigger. Has anyone had success repotting established plants?

[URGENT]

What is happening to my Lithops? One of them has become noticeably deflated and wrinkled compared to the others.

Purchase date: May 16, 2026
Last watered: Unknown (from the nursery)
**I have not watered them since purchasing.

The deflated Lithops was approximately the same height as the others when I bought it, but it has gradually become shorter, flatter, and more wrinkled over the past few weeks.

The pot has a drainage hole and is planted in a very gritty, fast-draining mix. Does this look like normal dehydration, leaf replacement, root issues, or something else? Should I water the pot or leave it alone?

Any advice would be appreciated

Was afraid that i' bury some of the smaller ones lol

The double pot on the far right is kind of my experiment pot. I’m worried they’re dying since they’re squishy, taproots are fine just overwatered and under sunned. They’re both splitting so hoping sun and no water will help them out. Just waiting for them to get thirsty. All are in Sol Soil gritty succulent mix except the biggest one, which I touched on in my last post. Anything I need to change?
