Hello. This post was meant for the Lithops group, but I’m putting it here to create, um, Lithops awareness? Basically, this is a plant almost everyone kills due to the watering schedule + waiting + trust. This is only my second winter with them, and they’re once again a total shock. It’s winter here, but currently a thousand degrees in S.Africa, so all my plants from that area are doing stuff. Anything that looks plump only recently came home with me. Anything crusty is an established plant that has gone through a year of me moving it between a full sun spot and a grow light powerful enough to crisp their tops. The result of the latter is, maybe, I’m getting some funky stuff such as two Lithops appearing in a single plant. One of the images shows the plant I started to dissect when I thought it was a goner. No, no, something definitely growing in there. Image of what they look like in their habitat. Note that these are some of the more uniform, “beautiful” I’ve seen in pics from the area.
