It’s about that time. All of my Lithops are under three years old so I’m not sure - even with the “right” conditions - flowers are a possibility. Getting ready for the Fall splitting. Some quick Lithops trivia: They can live to be 40+ years old; they get 20 inches or less of rain per year, and some “rely on mist or fog as their main source of moisture “ (Wisconsin Horticulture); there are at least 37 species and 145+ varieties of Lithops; most of their body is devoted handling and balancing water.

      I’m leaving instructions in my will to keep a living Lithops throne in my mausoleum.

    I find lithops so intriguing. Happened on a website once that lists all the species with pictures. One day, I might give them another try. I killed them on my first two attempts 😔

      I’m fine (“fine”) with these more established ones, but little ones and seedlings felt like guessing and punishment for playing God ha. It’s kind of like knowing how to care for dogs and then thinking a wolf is a doable pet.
