# Finally got my hands on some mature Lithops after being impatient…

_Posted by Lindsey on 2024-04-18_

Finally got my hands on some mature Lithops after being impatient with my tiny babe from seed. Now I need all the advice! Is there a better time than not to repot these guys? I know they want good space for roots. Do I wait and water until they start wrinkling? I’ve had them for about a month now, but scared to water. lol  
Dave, give me your 101 class!

Winter dormancy so repot now, you have two different types so I’d pot them in different small terracotta pots with new cactus soil lots of perlite

Thank you! So they have winter dormancy in our summer time?
