23/03/19 dried old leaves removed so they don't inhibit growth. This plant is still quite etiolated from poor care in garden centre , maybe next year it will be lower

@kylers thank you, I designed them and my other half drew them in 3d and printed them on his 3d printer

@MadKatrina so they are plastic pots then? It clearly does not affect the lithops. 👍🏻👍🏻

@kylers yes, but there are slits in the sides which allow the potting mix to dry quickly

@MadKatrina, I can see the slits now that you point them out, what a great set up. What type of potting mix are you using?

@kylers mainly pumice but with Maybe 5% organic matter and some grit. It's been a while since I've mixed it so I'm not sure what proportions

22/10/18 fairly decent roots on this #lithops given the conditions in the garden centre. He's got alot of battle scars though!

22/10/18 treated myself to a new Lithops today, need to up the proportion of green in my collection. The lithops in my local garden centre are generally so badly treated they are 5cm tall above the soil level. Thankfully this one doesn't look quite that bad
