Lithops Hookeri var. Dabneri

My lithops is splitting!!!! This is the first time for me!! #lithops #lithops-splitting

I’m unsure of what to do with my lithops! I’ve read that they shouldn’t be watered all winter until after they’ve split. But I have them under grow lights 14 hours a day so I’m unsure whether that is true winter to them. They’re not squishy but they’re very wrinkly. I’m not seeing any signs of splitting. To water or not to water?

you are creating summer light they are growing so need water. why so many hours of light?

@moore.794 most of my plants are still in their first year so I figured most of them don’t need a first winter because I want them to grow faster so I can give and sell them in the summer. Thanks for answering, I’ll water them!

would also give them 1/4 strength fertilizer if that is your thinking. very cool how plants grow in alaska with 20 hours light. @ecoami

My lithops plumped up overnight after watering! #lithops
