One generalization as to why I like them is that they respond similarly whether in real or fake light. The romantic arty explanation I think up is that they are essentially eyes with no other senses and a singular goal of “get light.” Another reason is that the Haworthia bloom their enormous flowers during North American winters. It’s something to look at while the Mammillaria snooze 😴 These are just my observations, as I frequently read, “Lithops do not like to be moved.” Well, I moved some from the sun to a grow light and they opened up the next day. And it happened a couple other times. And with my Split Stones, same deal. Seeing pics of them in their horrible habitat gave me some confidence in their ability to adapt. Check out the growth on my Euphorbia ferox! That was two little bunches that should soon move to a bigger pot. ![1件中1件目の添付ファイル](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/gFKgBIDtQUSoNHyzAXA4pLM-wYI4yLGXFPAMGDtMt3o/8b2f1c6f513249679bd321806c7cb6c7.webp?size=large) ## 16件のコメント ### Mulleinさんが2024-01-18にコメントしました Lovely collection, as always. You’ve got so many more succulents and cactuses than I have. I’d say I know a lot about foliage tropicals, but it feels like I’m starting from plant knowledge scratch when I read your posts 😂 Wow that ferox sure is something else! Looks kinda sci-if in the coolest way #### Mulleinさんが2024-01-18に返信しました Well darn, you might convert me!! 😂 I’m glad I finally got a lithop for myself. Such a modest little gem. I might as well ask since I have your ear, do the colors on lithops come out in strong lighting or are they from different species? I’ve seen colorful ones online, but not in person. Mine is a blueish grey, but the new one peaking through the split has a bit of a reddish blush so far #### Dave\_opuntiafaceさんが2024-01-18に返信しました So far, I’m thinking per species. Day one with my first set, I placed them in the sun for a few hours. I brought them in later and noticed I forgot to clean off a drop of water, and one was scarred. That was panic number one haha. I inadvertently “stressed” some of these. #### Dave\_opuntiafaceさんが2024-01-18に返信しました ![1件中1件目の添付ファイル](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/gFKgBIDtQUSoNHyzAXA4pLM-wYI4yLGXFPAMGDtMt3o/c0018539989f46b3b44ba9da458ad8d9.webp?size=large) #### Dave\_opuntiafaceさんが2024-01-18に返信しました And the red seems agnostic of light stress. I think people use potions to get bright colors ha. #### Mulleinさんが2024-01-19に返信しました That would make sense. The other day I forgot to cover my lithop while I was spray treating the tropicals. I was worried it would freak out and die on me, but I dried it off and it was okay. Sensitive but not that fragile thankfully _アプリに返信が1件届いています。_ ### Women are Waterさんが2024-01-18にコメントしました The pink spines are amazing. Is that because of the light. #### Dave\_opuntiafaceさんが2024-02-12に返信しました There is a tiny bit of pink that looks really pink right there, yeah. I was using a blue bulb ha. ### Anne Marieさんが2024-01-18にコメントしました Lovely collection! #### Dave\_opuntiafaceさんが2024-02-12に返信しました Thanks so much. What happened initially was having one cactus, which eventually made me wander down the succulent aisle at Home Depot. It was and continues to be holy cow, this exists?! Where was this every time I said I was bored? These weeds found a good sucker to take care of them :) ### Sunnyさんが2024-01-18にコメントしました Very cool! I have one split stone I got as a bonus when buying other online succulents. It felt fake like painted styrofoam. I put it in with my succulents props and it’s still alive 4 months later! That’s my goal…signs of life!😂 #### Dave\_opuntiafaceさんが2024-02-13に返信しました Hahaha that’s awesome. I remember doing the same thing when I got a Gasteria “Little Warty.” It felt so fake to the touch. Coincidentally, I had the same feeling last night when I got this Bishop’s Cap. I was at a supermarket in the middle of nowhere and refused to believe something this exotic was alive and in a shark pot on display where I buy frozen waffles. ![1件中1件目の添付ファイル](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/gFKgBIDtQUSoNHyzAXA4pLM-wYI4yLGXFPAMGDtMt3o/tIx9H8XiRzqxThex-A8vhw.webp?size=large) #### Sunnyさんが2024-02-13に返信しました It’s a treasure in no man’s land living his best life in a shark pot! Shark pot!🤣 You have to buy something that precious just for the benefit of telling the back story at parties!😁 ### Succulent sageさんが2024-02-12にコメントしました I love the setup #### Dave\_opuntiafaceさんが2024-02-12に返信しました Thank you! --- _Plantaコミュニティ (https://getplanta.com)。閲覧はどなたでも可能です。投稿、コメント、いいねをするには、Plantaアプリをダウンロードしてください: https://getplanta.com/download_
