# Any tips? So far, the lithops grew roots however seem a bit wrinkly…

_Posted by Gibs on 2024-10-03_

Any tips? So far, the lithops grew roots however seem a bit wrinkly even though I watered but I’ll leave them be. My conophytum still hasn’t rooted but hopefully it likes this new soil mix. My cactus I grew from a seed and recent put him in this pot since I think the full organic was getting too much

It might be going through it's dormant stage. They will shed their outer skin and a new lithop will grow inside. During this time you shouldn't water your lithops. I am currently in autumn in the UK so I haven't been watering.
