Cracked the dehydrated old leaves off my #lithopsbromfieldiivsulphurea tonight, and saw the delicate network of veins on the inside, which is I guess how the new baby leaves can access the moisture in the old ones. 18 Feb 2019 #lithops #livingstones #succulents #lithops-bromfieldii-sulphurea #texture

Both of the #lithops-bromfieldii-sulphurea are busy working on their new baby leaves. I shine a flashlight in there every day to peek at what they got developing. I don't think it's twins after all.

I've been keeping an eye on the #lithopsbromfieldiivsulphurea on the left because he's always been less plump and healthy than his brother on the right. Last night I put their clay pot into a pan of rainwater to give them a drink, and I forgot them overnight in the water. 😱 So far today they look ok, and the wrinkly guy looks a lot more plump. The healthier one looks greener and less yellow than before so hopefully the longer drink was good for them. If they don't explode in the next...

The one in the front is doing fine, but the one in the back looks like it's in trouble. A grower from South Korea I met on fb yesterday suggested I move them to bigger pots.

Dehydration. These guys took a bare-rooted trip through the mail recently, so that definitely had something to do with it. The wrinkles kind of guide you when they need water. @pixierose

These guys have had about 11 days to acclimate into their new pot, so today they got their first soak.

Why do you trim them?

The dead part doesn't do any good, and a little trim stimulates the roots to grow (or so I've been told). You don't need to do this routinely, just when potting new guys that have taken a trip through the mail. @Yollymac

These two #lithops-bromfieldii-sulphurea were sent along as freebies with my lithops rose of Texas order.
