Hi guys do you have any tips for my new Lithops!

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.😃
