How do I know that some of my plants notably retract and expand at night, and that the sound isn't a ghost rifling through calcinated clay? This happens every night around 11ish. TAP TAP TAP. This is around a week's worth of restless plant legs. Note that these are my latest and greatest Lithops. 🤞
What?! That’s so cool. I didn’t realize this is a thing
2 Me gusta Yah. I had read about roots of this plant contracting at night. After, I started paying attention to the noises lol.
Today. Last night was a party.
So far mine had been quiet and cleaning up after themselves lol. Very interesting!
2 Me gusta Yeah, really odd and silly. They had another party last night.
LOL!

This is “off topic” but what is that media called!
0 Me gusta No worries - everything is on topic here lol. It's calcinated clay pebbles.
I am glad you asked, because I wanted to know too! The pebbles look so good
1 me gusta Ohhhhh I’ve wanted to get into lithops— idk anything about them🥲and I’ve never took it upon myself to go research lo
1 me gusta I'll one day post about all the boutique, random mineral substrates I try. I do like this one a bunch, so far. Mostly, I'm trying to find one that lives up the the claim that pests hate it.
1 me gusta The thing about Lithops is that, six months in, they change. And you're like "this doesn't look right."
Dude this is so amazing. I have loved seeing my calatheas close and open, and I very much enjoy watching aerial roots and vines "search" for an anchor, but this is just incredibly adorable.
1 me gusta Those are my cutest, followed by these two. Sadly, the little "feet" seem to be food.
I, too, grow spare parts (well, parts of parts I guess?) to store energy 😅
