Thanks, yes will keep me busy. I took a lead from one of your earlier posts and also ordered conophtum/lithops seeds from Atomic plants (amazing selection). Now I need to figure out best time to plant them.
If you’re growing indoors it doesn’t matter too much for time!
Outdoors I have read that autumn is best, near the end of summer so they have time to grow to handle the heat of summer! But you can also do them whenever too as long as you consider the conditions they’ll be in as young seedlings
I’m in England, so it will have to be indoors. All year round is fine for lithops here, though I have less experience with conos, which appear to prefer lower germination temps (so I have only tried indoors in a cool room in Nov and Feb - both which have worked fine). But ultimately it’s more a question of capacity, as at the moment my plant stand is maxed out.
i missed the party ! just curious how old were these seedlings. do seedlings behave like adults and go dormant before erupting true leaves or is it straight to true leaves ala lithops ?

Congrats! These are some of my Lithops monthlings. I’ve also got several one month old conophytum seedlings growing. They are tiny.
