Lithops are such a great teacher of patience! Can you see the growth?! 😅🥹 Planted the seeds in August 2023. I put them back in a zip loc bag as suggested a few months ago, and thats where they still live for now. 🤷🏻‍♀️ What interesting little species these guys are.

They are so adorable as babies. Good work, yo! I have some seeds in my Amazon cart, but I’m not quite ready for that undertaking.

(Immediately questions self and thinks this might be the time to do this.)

This makes me want to buy a tiny baby. So cute! True patience and dedication.

What type of soil did you use for the seedlings?

#### Lindsey replied on 2024-03-12

I used a seedling mix from the home improvement store, with sand/gravel on top per the instructions on the seed packet. They’re growing sooooooooo slow. 🐌
