I’ve been interested in lithops but I haven’t owned one yet. My local greenhouse will post pictures online but then by the time I get around to going they’re sold out lol. Must be popular! I’ve seen them really cheap online. Does anyone have advice or recommendations for buying online or not?

Hi. I know there are some others on here who have purchased seeds and little Lithops from MicroLandscapeDesign (on Etsy, Amazon). Mine are all from Home Depot and only because the local boutique shops don’t seem to understand how to keep them alive in a shop.

Thanks!! Haha I guess Home Depot keeps them alive by never watering their plants 😜

I’ve ordered several times from MicroLandscapeDesign via Etsy.

Not to hijack this, but I just saw you have Euphorbia obesa. I’m obsessa for obesa.

#### MeasomerPi replied on 2023-08-14

You should get one. They are great. It’s started out as a golf ball and turned into a pickle. I’m curious to see where it goes from there.

I’m pretty much a sucker for a euphorbia succulent.

I agree that Etsy is a great source to but lithops. Most succulents do great on Etsy because they don’t need to be watered as frequently, so they won’t die while shipping.
