# This should go in the niche Lithops group, but I want to call…

This should go in the niche Lithops group, but I want to call attention to everyone who might see a soggy Lithops in a shop.

I passed on a bunch, recently, due to them being placed under a dripping roof. However, I was compelled to grab these due to colors and patterns I don’t have. I did see a mite, squished it, hurried home and sprayed with Insecticidal Super Soap, watched the whole thing (two bunches here) fall apart in my hand. The roots are not good.

Anyway, please locate an employee and mention something like, “You know, you don’t water these twice a week.” Or, “Does anyone here know what this is?” Or even, “Home Depot has this better figured out than you, a boutique shop.” “Your cactus are always soaked and dying, so please remove the word ‘cactus’ from the store title.”

I am debating an experiment in cutting the bottom rot to see if they still grow or just give up. I’m always up for a challenge!

I love how you had to buy it because of the color. It's like you're trying to "collect them all" haha

Yo. It’s real. Pokémon, plants, records, etc. If there are variants, I’m on it lol.

The red one is my Snorlax ha.
