Love gardening, especially succulents probably cause I can forget them for ages. South east Melbourne area. Always learning.

One of only a couple #lithops I have left. I put them out in the sun one morning, it wasn't very hot bit they hadn't been having much sun and in one morning I wiped out my entire collection. I was devastated.

I’ve never had one of these but been thinking about trying. Are they fuzzy with weather conditions?

They just have very particular watering requirements and sun too. Lol as long as your nights get under a particular temp during autumn and spring, i think maybe like 18 maybe, they should be OK. They are hard to grow if you live in tropical areas @CatsSuccentGarden

Hmmm 🤔, maybe give it more time to decide 😂. Thanks for the tips!

Once you get the watering down they're pretty easy. They don't do much but when they do its very exciting. Hahaha @CatsSuccentGarden

All my baby #lithops had their first split now, and showing their colours. For a mixed batch they look pretty similar. #livingstones

So happy the first one looks to be splitting also. The top has been soft for weeks and I was worried it was dying a slow death, nope it's just splitting. And progress of the other one. #lithops #livingstone #succulent #swipeforprogress

My babies first split. Finally. It's taken 6 months, the splitting one used to have a green one next to it but it passed last week, also another one looking weird so down to 5 maybe but still. #seedgrown #lithops #firstsplit #succulent #lithopssplitting

Too bad about your loss. Mine split at 4 months, still have 4. 🌞

Well I thought it and I paid 3 dollar's for the seeds and a lithops alone here is around 6-10 dollar's so even if I get one I'm doing OK. :)

No I haven't. None of mine have ever done anything except this one. Lol and that's because he came splitting. I know they're alive though cause the roots are coming out the bottom of pot more and more.

Someone told me they need to be at least 3 years to flower and even then can take up until they're 5 years old and they still don't flower every year.

The lithops collection except the seedlings. My favourite is the splitting orange one bottom left. Just love the colour. The ones with blue have actual names and Cole numbers. Theyre here enjoying the rare sun these days and a bit of a water, except splitting guy. #lithops #livingstones #succulent

Thank you, I've had 5 since Dec and the rest are maybe 1 month old. I wanted to see if I'd kill them all first. Lol but they've gotten bigger and I can see roots at the bottom of some pots. Not sure if I should repot now or just wait till spring?

The pots only need to be 4” deep. I can’t tell from the photos how deep they are but I think they’re fine in the pots now and no repotting needed. They look great!😊🌞

I think the smaller pots are just under 4". Maybe 3.5 so I'll leave them till spring if they live that long. :)

New lithops to the house, it's a great orange kind of colour, but it's splitting so hope I don't kill it. I know you're not to water while splitting but it looks like the last person did as the outer leaves are quite juicy still lol #lithops #livingstone #newaddition #lithopssplitting

I wouldn’t worry, many of mine look like that when they start splitting and they turn out fine. Love the spots! 🌞

Baby lithops still kicking. Not sure how many I had last time, have 8 left from 20, they were sown in early dec which was the wrong time but they're alive. One has white spots that resemble mould or something but it's solid so who knows. #lithops #seedgrown #8left

Baby lithops progression. They just sit in my window. There are 10 nice ones left from 20 seeds. Don't like the chances of getting to adulthood but fingers crossed. #lithops #germination
