Do you have any videos on above water therapy? My lithops got its roots torn off but I think there’s still a small piece inside it. will adding rooting powder or gel help?
Joodie Shy, no worries it seemed to be a gnat, didn’t find any other bugs, but I did dose them with alcohol just in case and inspected all the other plants in the grow tent just for good measure! Everyone looks ok! Thanks for the comment though cause I’d Always rather someone say something even if I saw it! Better safe than sorry with bugs! ☺️
I am going to follow your advice about watering Lithops that were purchased in the wintertime. I am going to see what happens later this year using this method. I have some Lithops that were purchased a year ago and they are still alive which is a record for me. I think it is funny that I have grown a number of plants for more than thirty years and still have problems growing Lithops.
Hi. I bought my lithops about 2 weeks ago. I finally took it out of the small pot and I totally cleaned one lithops and waited 24 hours to repot, and the other one I reported right away. I separated the 2 lithops and I watched your videos twice to see if I was doing this right. I washed the 1 lithops really good and trimmed the roots》it still had the main root. The other one I just shook off the excess sand and repotted. Thanks for the advice 🤩🤗💗
Thanks for the deep info of keeping lithops. My one question is I live in Malaysia tropical climate. We do not have 4 seasons here. So when should I water my lithops?
Ashley, I purchased an extra pot of Lithops from Walmart for you. How do I mail the to you? I purchased 4 pots. One pot was soaking wet. I took them out of the pot and am letting them dry a bit. The roots are really good. I would love to see what you can do with them.
Extremely helpful video. I’m about to take delivery of my first Lithops and need all the advice I can get on them . I don’t know how popular they are here in Australia as there weren’t that many advertisements for them. Thankyou I enjoy your videos Cheers 😃
Sorry to disapoint you, but im one who actually has grown a lithops out of a bare body. this is what happened one day my niece came to my house and was playing with a ball and accidentally the ball went into one of my lithop and broke it into two parts. top and bottom. i left the bottom as it was still in the soil. and took the top half and put it into wet soil left for a week and started sprouting roots out of the bare body i was amazed when i realised that i actually was going yo have two lithops instead of one. I still have this lithops and it has change twice its leves.How would you explain this? Plants in my opinion are adaptable and can defied science... or at least you opinion of science..I would love to see you book of science where it said that lithops can't form new roots from a bare body! because i dont know how then my did it.
I just got my first lithops, and I just realized that it doesn’t have the best roots but it’s still splitting, so now I have it in its own little pot and I’ve started watering it.. how often should you water it though? It’s potted in 75% perlite 25% cactus mix..
Help!!! I got confident and did the division! Now what?!! I requested your FB group. Im hovering them over water now. But Im not sure if I should be letting them dry out first or not 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
Hey i have brought some lithops some are putting out new leaves some are still closed i want to know should i wait for the ones putting out new leaves are done then re pot or can do it now only.. please advise should i wait or not
I just subscribed to you channel, thank you for letting me join. I watched this video today and I have grown Lithops many times over the past 40+ years and am trying again from seed. But I do have problems I am still trying to work out. But what I wanted to ask you now, I grew some Lithops bromfieldii v insularis from seed and in the second year, when it split, I got 3 new plants come up, one of those had three sets of leaves. The next year when these split, one split ito two, one split into three and one of those had three sets of leaves, and the previous three leafed plant divided into 7 new plants. Any idea what was going on. I then killed the whole thing like I normally do. Thank you.
What do u feed them with? I bought that orange bottle that says succulent & cactus fertilizer I believe it’s by Miracle Grow. Is that fine? And how often do u feed them. Also I purchased 2 lithops from Lowe’s & 1 was already splitting & so seems to be doing well & the other just finished blooming & I can see the new leaves under it. Sorry this was so long. Thank u for doing these videos. Even though they are long, they are the most informative so I appreciate it. Thanks again for ur help 😊
Nilza Pereira De Melo, yes, I needed to get my FB page, instagram and TH-cam names to match so it wouldn’t be so confusing! And so I asked for ideas and this name was my favorite! I’ve always been an experimentalist, and Succulent Alchemy just hit the exact feel I was looking for! 😉. I’ll eventually remove my name or put it second, but I didn’t want to confuse everyone too much, so one step at a time! 😊
Ashley Glassman / Succulent Alchemy Just as l said. It suits your knowledge. I though you were Dutch when l first meet you Ashley.. Glassman is a Dutch name too. That was the main reason that l started watching your videos. I though l had finaly found a great Dutch page lol.,
So much obvious the roots growing on the budy wont survive now that you say it. How many inches from the grow light do you put them? Do you take them outside in the summer?
Lyse S, yes I do usually put them outside for the summer. Right now they are about 8” away from the grow lights. They do well with that distance with my light and they don’t stretch at all over the winter, but it really depends on the light how close they need to be. If I see them reaching at all I move it closer, but for the winter that seems to work for me! 💗
I’m sure another channel will suit you much better if you enjoy 5 min videos! I know my videos aren’t everyone’s cup of tea, but there is just no way I could share the amount of info I do in 5 min. There are lots of great succulent growers producing shorter videos I’m sure you will find helpful! Many blessings and happy growing!
Really great detailed info and explanations that made sense, thanks for sharing 🤘🏻
Like many of us I’m here to learn. Details can be very important. Wouldn’t worry about length. Thanks for sharing. Some of us don’t do Facebook.
THANK YOU....THANK YOU.......Your tutorial is the most informative that I have seen.
Your lithop vids are fenominal, by far the most informational out there. Thank you for the knowledge!
true. She's the GOAT of lithops care. Lithops queen
Do you have any videos on above water therapy? My lithops got its roots torn off but I think there’s still a small piece inside it. will adding rooting powder or gel help?
At about 12:31 I saw a little white bug crawling on one of the Lithops. (Towards the top of the frame). Just FYI if you didn’t spot it already.
Joodie Shy OMG You have good eyes. I had to look the video 4 times to find that bug. I hate them all Joodie
Was just about to post about the bug myself...I went into panic mode lol

Awesome advice Ashley!!
These are such tricky little guys! I’m giving some a try. Thanks for the advice! 😀
How many hrs do u soak your lithops?thank you😊
Which fertilizer you use for lithops and how much and often thanks
Great video, Ashley. How long would you leave the lithops soaking (in very loose more x)? Thanks.
Ashley, I purchased an extra pot of Lithops from Walmart for you. How do I mail the to you? I purchased 4 pots. One pot was soaking wet. I took them out of the pot and am letting them dry a bit. The roots are really good. I would love to see what you can do with them.
Thanks the info! I have some Lowe’s lithops and they are doing exactly what you talked about n have those double heads! 😬

justinemartello give it a week in its new pot and water lightly. Set the pot on top of some water so the new roots can grow towards the moisture.
how can you repot.is ok in the soil?
Help!!! I got confident and did the division! Now what?!! I requested your FB group. Im hovering them over water now. But Im not sure if I should be letting them dry out first or not 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
I purchased a lithop that was stacked. I didn't know that was a thing, what will happen to it? Should I separate it?
But couldn't the new leaves from in inside be able to grow roots
So u think if its rooting from the center of the base it can recover
Hey i have brought some lithops some are putting out new leaves some are still closed i want to know should i wait for the ones putting out new leaves are done then re pot or can do it now only.. please advise should i wait or not
Very helpful. Thanks!
I've just trimmed my lithops' roots back to what seems healthy. Would you suggest I now water it to help it grow more roots?
I'm slightly confused but should I water a little by week if they have bare root no new roots ? How long usually takes to root
Thank you

@Ashley Glassman ? I’m curious bc I have the same Succi food👍🏻
Hi, any update? :)
A new page name again? I love this one. It suits your knowledge. Ya dig it was also great btw.
Nilza Pereira De Melo, yes, I needed to get my FB page, instagram and TH-cam names to match so it wouldn’t be so confusing! And so I asked for ideas and this name was my favorite!

Ur hands r really pretty
You Sun Keeps Moving? Just hold him under I little longer.
I see a bug
Useful info but please stop lip smacking, it's very distracting!
The teeth sucking drives me nuts and it sucks because the video is informative 😑
videos are too long. 5 mts will be ideal.
I’m sure another channel will suit you much better if you enjoy 5 min videos! I know my videos aren’t everyone’s cup of tea, but there is just no way I could share the amount of info I do in 5 min.

I disagree
Daytons Sniper Rifle, with me, or you disagree the videos are too long?
Ashley Glassman / Succulent Alchemy the Video length is fine
mts what is mts? min. is the abbreviation for minutes...
