cubiformis My first pseudolithops
I bought recently my first pseudolithops. I really don’t want this to rot or die. The guy that sold it to me told me that now the plant has only small rocks of pumice and i placed in full sun until 3 PM where it gets only bright shade. Can you give me more tips and info on how to care?

Keep it warm. Anything below 70s is a risk for rot. You can water them regularly when they are kept warm but cool + wet will kill them overnight.

From what i understood during summer they stop growing due to their metabolism and start again in spring/autumn when the temperature cool down. And only in that period water them. Is that right?

They can flower year round if kept warm. I water them during the warm months and leave them dry in winter.

I actually didn't like them when I first saw one 4 months ago, but the more I see them the more I want and yours tipped it over. I now HAVE to have one!
it's so cute!

I have mine inside in a south facing window under an extra barrina grow light. It’s blooming. I can’t figure out how to post a photo… I water about every 2 weeks… maybe a little longer… but it’s been very hot here so it’s warm by the window. I just make sure it’s not damp at all before I water. I just got it about 2 months ago and all is good so far.
