    I live in Las Vegas and haven’t watered mine in 6 months. They are finally wrinkling so I’m going to water them soon. Then they shouldn’t need water again all winter. Best advice is just fight the urge to water them. The more you ignore them, the better they do. Love them from a distance!

      Hey neighbor! I couldn't agree more!! I live in AZ and end up watering mine every 6 months. Once after flowering and once when the old leaves are all dried up.

    I find that when you have multiple lithops in one pot and one is fully hydrated using a thick needled syringe to inject the water just under the top of the soil near the one that does not have enough water works really well!

  • @ericapaul7989

    Everyone has such a hard time with lythops their first time having them! Lol I'm glad you made this video for all new lythop owners. I think it will help cut down on how many lose theirs right away! You were open and inviting yet informative. Hard combo to master 🙌

    • @SucsForYou

      Thanks Erica! I'm glad you've kept your Lithops happy for so long! It goes to show how dry climates can do wonders for growing the more difficult succulents, but I know it can be hard w/ the extreme heat and cold winters.

    I have my weee little butts growing in a planter with cactus, but the butts are sectioned off together on one end of the pot away from the cactus. I never water the little guys, only the cactus area and it seems they love it, only getting some residual moisture/humidity in the soil. They're healthy and multiplying when they should.

    This video was very useful. Thanks. I taught botany at a community college for several years but dealt more with the anatomy, physiology and reproduction in higher plants. Higher in that they were higher off the ground. Of course Lithops are higher too, just near the ground in dry climates. I have several pots of Lithops germinating and will give your video more looks as they develop. They look like ideal candidates for gifts.

I planted them in soil for now and put under my plant lites because I’m in Maine and it’s dark at 4:30 I hope the lites help a lot 🌱I do believe overwatering killed mine because it was having new plants emerge at the time

    Thanks for mentioning where you are from. I watch so many plant videos and wonder “can I help those babies survive in this heat?” Like I’ll bet a lot of houstonians would not believe a 14 year old rubber plant can sit in your front yard and get at least 6 hours of direct sunlight and has survived freezes, hurricanes, being cut all the way down (leaving no leaves or stems)all of it. Based on what you hear about rubber plant mine should’ve died ten time over but it come back every year.

    I just collected a few lithops without pots and media, I reported them as instructed, but I haven't watered the pots yet. My media is dry and consists mainly of stone chips, coarse sand, perlite and a small amount of organic matter. Some plants have no roots or very small roots. When should they be watered first?

    • @SucsForYou
      @SucsForYou  ปีที่แล้ว

      It should be okay to water them to encourage some root growth. No roots = nowhere for the water to go, so just enough to moisten the soil, not too much. The pots should dry in 2 days or sooner.

    I love Lithops! When I got my first pot of these plants, I had done my research, and I didn't even water them for the first time until months later. If anyone struggles with the urge to water them, note that some species come from locations where the average rainfall in the entire year is just a few inches! They're like little water tanks.

    Thank you for such an informative, well organized video. I’ve been binge watching your channel for a couple of days, and I feel comfortable that I have enough information to hopefully stop giving these innocent cuties death sentences because they’re unable to grow legs to help them run to safety when I walk into any sort of “garden center” to try something other than orchids to grow - I’m a recently-paroled orchid a****r, and the succulents seem to know that they have less than zero chances of survival once I get through the checkout in the store and out to my car. Your clear explanations for and against the use of any of these various “soil” amendments make perfect sense, especially as far as how to tweak the ratios based on the climate where the plants will be living. I live in the New Orleans area, and although we do have colder winters and slightly cooler summers than you do in Houston, pretty much everything else that would work well for your plants in your climate should be - at the very least - a good starting point for my foray into the world of succulents, and I think that I will be able to continue to grow my orchids in the greenhouse right alongside the Lithops (and Mesembs and other succulents that have been cowering in fear at my favorite store(s) for overpriced plants). Here’s hoping, and thanks for so much great information!

    • @SucsForYou

      Sorry for the late reply - I kind of go dormant in the winter 😅 Yes our climates are very similar and humidity/heat/rain are our biggest challenges. Plants that do well for me are Kalanchoes, Euphorbia, Haworthia, Aloes - more 'tropical' varieties. I still keep more difficult sucs but those are my BFFs because they don't give me much trouble ;)

    Lithops and succulents always remind of me some underwater oceanic connection with their design and look.

    I am so pleased to have found you Andrea. I have a Līthops which has root rot, I think I got it like this from the nursery but it was not visible as the injury is below the ground. After watching this I took it out of the pot to see the root, and there is was half rotten. I am so upset about it and thought to reach out to see if you have any advise to see if I can save her? Not sure if I can add a photo here so you can see the patient....mmm

      But Andrea says they also wrinkle from too little water. Knowing how big box stores water their plants, it's probably easy to miss one or two. You'd have to know what cycle the plant was in before you bought it. Hmmmm...what a conundrum

      I leave them - eventually the flowers will dry completely and they'll be easy to remove. Water when needed, according to the video.

    I slowly started to really care for all my different succulents, because I noticed they are not as easy as it seems. The most populare Information given, is that they all don't need to be watered often. It seems to be too easy. So I started to look up for more information and learn that they aren't as easy as people think.
    There are so many things you need to look out for, for each individuell succulent. I really thank you for this really good video!! I find it hard to find good quality informations. I wish there would be more informations in my language as well but I am lucky to understand english as well❤️
