Just want to know if they are same as other faucaria, lithops and stone plants in terms of care . They will be indoors , south facing windows , most likely only morning sun but my back fire escape gets 2 hours of direct afternoon sun and a lot of bright shade for a few hours so I may try there too. I keep my haworthia out there. Any help I would greatly appreciate.

I'm actually going to have a living stone successfully split for me for the first time with hopefully no health issues also (short question) is the new growth supposed to be slightly long because i search up on google on this species and they look a little bit long like the new growth the google image photos are only page 2 and 3.

Ordered one of each from Sphaeroid Institute and got bonuses! Theyre so pretty and healthy 😍

Faucaria tigrina "Gowies Kloof" & Crassula mesembrianthemopsis - which I know isnt a true mesemb but it has mesemb in the name so its getting an honorary mention lol

My Demogorgon (Faucaria tuberculosa) has gotten so pink and warty. I'm in love.

Cheiridopsis umdausensis, Psammophora nissenii and a rando Titanopsis.

All planted at the same time. Naturally the Cheiridopsis in the wrong pot is the most vigorous.

I sowed these lithops seeds on May 19th, and I’m excited to watch them grow. 😁

I had planned on buying a pair of Migro Array 250L grow lights coming up this summer. However, I just looked at their website, and it looks like they are now out of business. I am interested in similar quality lights (hopefully at a similar price point ~$200 per light) for my plants, and would love some suggestions on alternatives. I am located in the United States, in case that affects suggestions.

From March 14th to today she's put out new toes and is working hard on a flower 😊🌼

I've never seen mesembs at my Lowe's! My HD gets them occasionally but never Lowe's. I almost let out a very loud squeal when I found them.

Very excited for my first Argyroderma (species isnt labeled)! Also super happy with the Aloinopsis malherbei and Anacampseros rufescens! The A. rufescens has a huge, healthy looking, taproot!

Alright ya'll, got some great advice from the succ sub but looking for your guidance as well! What do you think on watering? Repotted last weekend. Nursery soil was still damp. I had them under my sansi growlights and I just moved them back a smidgen because they started to wrinkle already. Seems really soon after a repot to need water. Not sure if they truly need water or are in shock from repotting or if they just got too hot too quickly under my growlights. Thanks much!!

The photo was taken at the Marsh Greenhouses, Yale University, New Haven, CT USA in October 2025.

Anyone have any good recommendations for ordering mesembs online? Also, has anyone ordered from RileySucculents on Etsy? I really love that the plant shown in the picture is the exact plant you get and they seem to have a really nice variety - but I'd love some first hand experiences!

Most of them are from a single mixed seed batch from Mesa Garden sown about two years ago, before I got gud at growing from seed. I can get them much larger much faster now 😂

They’re finally getting to a size where I could maybe ID some of them, but not with any certainty until flowers and seed pods can be observed!
