Planta is advising me to water all of my lithops tomorrow (Iâve had them for about a month now) but I read a few comments on here saying not to water them if theyâre splitting - but I only have one pot where they look like theyâre thriving and not shriveled. Most of the pots have shriveled ones and maybe a few splitting - so Iâm unsure whether to water or not?

Hi All! Newbie here and today I couldnât resist and brought these beauties home. The lady at the shop says to water them every week and repot in a couple months. They look like theyâre really crowded to me. The pot is 2â. What do you think I should do?

The size of this one is laugh out loud. I picked it because I wanted to see what was happening under the hood.
I didn't rip the crown apart, but I speculate this is one single Lithops with half-formed twins. The latter might have been pollinated orâŠdo any of you good folks know before I look that up? đ
This is from good old Home Depot in West Valley, Utah. I sniff 'em out on Sundays when everyone is at church or running 5Ks. (No offense, itâs just a fact that I learned when I collected action figures back in the day.)

My first lithop is splitting! âșïž When I got it, I almost chose one already in the middle of splitting, but I realized I wanted to see the whole process for myself. Iâm really pleased with this little pet rock đ

I recently potted some baby lithos I ordered off Etsy and am so excited for them! I gave them water after I potted just to set the soil and am going to follow plantaâs recs for now. Any advice to help them thrive?

Lithops are such a great teacher of patience! Can you see the growth?! đ đ„č 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. đ€·đ»ââïž What interesting little species these guys are.

If I saw these all a year ago, I would be overwhelmed and concerned about âwhatâs wrong and what do I do?â Now, I am only moderately nervous over this small field of husks and mangled skin that will magically plump and do, as far as Iâm concerned, miraculous things.

These are my first lithops! Iâd seen them on Etsy as âplant buddiesâ and I honestly didnât even know they were real đ Hubbie got me a surprise grab bag from our local shop and this was one of the plants! Iâm officially obsessed, I want more!

I thought I was good on Lithops until my Holiday angst kicked in. This happened technically, per the song, on the second day of Christmas. Yes, I give myself presents to deal with mass, sad, tradition-bound Consumerism. Thatâs just my experience, all. No shade to anyone elseâs joy. This season would be different if I were decorating a Saguaro and running around in shorts.
I got these two from Mountain Crest Gardens ($11 total). This was also a gamble to get another Lithops species into the mix. I did it!

so iâm wondering after i repot my lithops i should water them or leave them be because itâs nearly winter time in my area. I might just wait to repot them because of that factor. Hereâs how they look like right now. Some of them are doing pretty good but a few have been consistent wrinkly since i got them fourish months ago
Lindsey
Planted some Lithop seeds four months ago and these two made it! Theyâre so tiny, but theyâve stayed alive for several months now. Do I adopt the âno watering between winter & springâ when theyâre this young? Advice appreciated!

Hi! I bought this little guy 8 months ago and knew nothing about lithops⊠as you can see heâs all stretched because he was searching for sun - poor guy⊠I have him under a grow light now and have stopped watering and am waiting for wrinkles. Any suggestions to give him and me some hope??

I was able to resist all of these (so expensive at boutiques), but had to share. The big one made me blurt âoh wow!â in the middle of strangers.
