A now and then and a few things in between with this Lithops trio. The green bulbous look was fun.

I’m going to do a bunch of little guys like yours at some point. Good luck!

Again I promised myself that I would not get anymore succulents but where you get those?

Drum roll….Home Depot - mine are all HD. I got these last fall when there was a whole tray of Lithops like this. They were all swole from a few years under the right conditions ha. Over the year, I’ve watched businesses figure out that Lithops sell for $8 each, not $6 for four ha. Or 5 for $6. Look at the sneaky one here. The one in the middle is a different species!

TBH my local boutique shops don’t know how to take care of Lithops once they’re in the shop.

Might I tempt you with another crazy journey?

What are theeese?

I keep following the Planta reminders, and the only trick that seems universally agreed upon is the top leaf should feel firm. If it is, don’t fret that the bottom leaves are mush.
