    This is perfect timing! I bought one last year that had two in one pot; I separated them out of the nursery pot last June and repotted them into separate tiny pots using special bonsai soil mixture. Last week one was looking so shriveled I thought ut oh...I watered it and now it’s splitting... so exciting😀 I can’t wait to see the new babies! They both live in my S facing window and they are adorable! Thanks for the video. I can’t wait to buy a new color. I did think they were slightly boring but when I saw the one starting to split it was a game changer.

  • @2qlrn273

    I was just gifted a Lithops. She said I should probably water it. I'm afraid to, as I've heard how easy they can rot. It is the 8th of November & we're facing 4 nights of nearly freezing weather, with highs around 50*F. This Lithops looks dry, BUT, it also has THREE sets of leaves! The bottom set is clearly receding, but not fully dried up. The second set is open & revealing the 3rd set, which together are about 3/4 to 1 inch across longways. It seems to be on a thin stem, as well, as it moves around easily but goes back to its starting point, when I move the little pot from side to side ... but ... not like it's necessarily attached. IDK what it needs, but IDT it's me! Any advice???

    Thank you for this video! I just bought this plant 🌱 and it’s one of my favorite succulents. Mine is a purple color and I only have one since my parents house is not the brightest . I pretty much just buy low light plants that are easy maintenance. Mine just split open a little and I’ve only watered it once this month so I’m not sure when to water it again. Maybe in June I suppose. Love your collection.

    Very well explained. I don't know anything about Lithops, at first i didn't like them at all. Now i find them such a cuties. And bought a bunch online yesterday. The were deliverd today and i don't know if i have to be disapointed. They don't look 'bright'. They are very little Lithops clusters. I find the color poor. But maybe i am wrong about that. As they are soooo little/small like a needle i don't know if i should seperate them. Thanks for this great video, i learned a lot!! 🤩😍

    No, you can't just keep lithops in pumice. I listened to you and did that. All my lithops lost their roots and started draining within a week. They're all dead. Please don't listen to her guys.

I used maybe 70% perlite and 30% soil and some aquarium rocks for top dressing. They're doing okay so far, and no signs of rot. Hopefully next year, they flower for me :)

    Hello, would you like to explain how I should water (take care) of the lithops? I'm from another country but I would love to know how to take care of these succulents. I can't understand in the video, only in the comments I understand.
