Happy Saturday 😀 this is my first stone. I’ve had it for a couple of months not sure if it needs to be re-potted?

How tall is that pot? The diameter is great - and your plant looks good (though might be reaching up a little bit). Repotting doesn’t seem necessary.

I ask about the height because I personally (after a bunch of academic research lol) try to give Lithops some room for a couple inches of roots. My more shallow pot (a candy dish) is more demanding and hence confuses my watering schedule. This is just a suggestion, though.

They flower ??

Here is the thing: all this stuff flowers! But yes, this started on one of my plants a few months ago. They flower like this at 3-4 years. Here is today.

ps This is the first year this happened. I’m still pretty new to Lithops.

### Joy commented on 2023-09-16

Thanks Dave for the help .. It is a little over an inch in height .

The white pot with your Jade is what I mean as far as the size comment above.

Also, the real answer to repot or not is to look under the pot and see if Lithops roots are poking out. If so, ^^

Not to almost contradict myself lol. (I didn’t realize the pot was that small.)

#### Joy replied on 2023-09-17

Yes pot is very small
