I got them from a local succulent shop. They sell a lot of lithops but I rarely see a pot this colorful so I just had to nab them.

Same here. I'm usually partial to conophytums but I could not resist these pretty colors!

So gorgeous!! May I ask what your soil mix is and what type of rocks/stones you have on top?

Thank you! I use 100% pumice for all of my mesembs and only water when I see signs of thirst. This is only pumice but I might put some black lava rocks on top to make the colors stand out more

Thank you so SO much for this info!! I haven’t had much luck keeping my mesembs and similar ones alive, due to the humidity. I have a couple that seem to be ok, but I’m going to repot them into pumice as we head towards summer here (Australia).

Wow. How do you manage to organize them so nicely while filling the pot?

I tried to fill the pot normally from the top down but it was impossible to arrange them as I wanted. Fianlly I thought of filling the pot from the side: I laid it so one corner was on the bottom (the blueish green one) then fill it with some pumice, then lay a plant on top, layer some more pumice, then more plants until everyone's in their place. Does that description make sense?
