I’ve my lithop for a bit over a month, I repotted it and gave it just a little water. It’s on a south facing windowsill. Like two weeks it started to wrinkle so I watered it a normal amount. Now there’s green spots on it does anyone know what these spots are? Also does it look like it’s dying or splitting? The dead thing in the middle was there when I bought it.
Am I doing this righ
I got this butt plant with my friend a few months back. Hers has since died, but mine has lived with the help of a watering schedule. It recently grew a new butt, but the old butt is looking wrinkly and is a little squishy. Does it need water or did it get too much water?

what’s wrong with my split rock plant? i got it from a home depot ~2 weeks ago and it was doing fine, but now there’s white spots at the bottom and the leaves(?) feel mushy. i’ve only watered twice since getting it and one was today so i doubt that’s the issue, but could be. the nursery pot has drainage and im not giving much water each time, just until water comes out the drainage holes. any tips appreciated !!!

I finally got my first lithops and I'm in love; any recommendations to what kinds to get as I'm a beginner and only can do gardening indoor as I'm disabled but have window sunlight all day and a safe cornor for dark spot so I can put them anywhere needed be to grow happily.

My lithops is splitting, I think she’s a bit late to this party, but I’m very excited about it! 🎉 I have had a really hard time finding information on this plant online. Any information I find is pretty much invalidated in the next source. So, if anyone knows any of the following I would be very grateful! - about how long do they take to split? At what point should I be worried she is stuck? - after she is finished splitting and the old leaves are all shriveled; should I water her right away or wait till she wrinkles? - how long does the dead flower stick around? Should I try to get it off? - I have found several references to not watering when the plant is splitting or dormant. How am I to tell when it’s dormant? - some places say not to water when flowering and others say to water as normal. Should I withhold water when/if she flowers?

What happens when you clip the rot and gross off the bottom of a Lithops? It’s dead, right? I’m speculating YES, but I’ve seen some bonkers plant stuff this year. Let’s see if I can pull some magic out of this. Featured in the pics are the others I saved from this batch - a recent purchase. Some had zero roots, but I let them (the roots) all dry out after a soak of super soap and light scrubbing. 🤞

This just sort of happened…

Very first and only Lithop. Would love some tips on taking care of her correctly. I have a window with good light and some great quality grow lights, I live in zone 7b, so I’m out here in the desert.

Perking up!

Reminder lithops typically go into dormancy in June / July cut off watering!!

How much should lithops cost on average? I saw a cute mini bunch and it was for $20 (I didn’t get it yet, idk)

Is my Lithops supposed to do this? 2 of them have wilty pieces. 🥲

How often do Lithops split? One place said once a year. Somewhere else said 4-5 years but also mentioned flowering. Is splitting and flowering the same thing?

I was gifted with lithops a year ago. I love them. The largest one split so I didn’t water it since that started. I realize that I should have targeted some water at the other two smaller ones- they died off. My question now is when do I water the new leaves? How long do I leave the mama plant intact- it’s getting very shriveled? Pic one is a year ago. Pic two is this morning. Appreciate any help!
