This is my first time growing Lithops. Not sure im doing this right, I can’t tell if it’s growing the way it’s meant to or if it’s too “leggy.”

Either way, here is my lithops, “Carybdis”

Omg is that from Reincarnated as a Slime? The name? And no it looks great!

No, it’s from the Odyssey! Scylla and Charybdis were sister sea monsters. I had another lithops that did NOT fare well so I am left with only Charybdis

Ahhhhhh! I love it. I give my plants names after the Wheel of Time characters 🤣

Love the cover pot! I’ve got a pretty similar one from Ten Thousand Villages

I’m an owl pot owner as well, 0% drainage tho…I’m planning on potting this poor baby into a well draining pot a size smaller and rest it on a bed of river rocks at the base of this pot!
