I was just barely talking about these and noticed the split on two of them! It happened overnight. The red glass is their first day, and you can see their froggy shape in the other photo.

The discussion I recently had was over removing the bottom leaves when they look rotting. I will say that is an impatient response lol, and you need to let nature take care of it - provided you are doing your part. The other debate was over this plant being in trouble if it has more than two sets of leaves. While I agree with this in theory, here is my Chet, who has a twin. Also see the photo from llifle.

These plants are mutants born in a highly irradiated area. They’re going to be weird. Don’t panic.

Okay, I’m pretty sure it was said in jest, but “mutants born in a highly irradiated area” has me hoping for a Mothra type situation with mine.

🤞

Haha actually, I believe in a direct correlation between Lithops and the movies District 9 and Chappie. There had to be some influence! I’m hoping you get a Mothra.
