Indeed! I'll spell them all wrong, so I'll try to use the common names if there are any. Pitchers are cool, drosera are also very. I think those are the main ones that I like
They are! That's part of what I like about them! They're unassuming little things, but if you look into it, they're something very different and fresh compared to the usual plants, and even the usual succulents.
Monstera Thai Constellation my behind, you can get a nice lithops that's actually...
Mine take about 5 months or so. Usually by December they're done with blooming, and by April, sometimes May, they're done with splitting.
And yup, it's exactly as you say it. After one or two times, you get used to it!
Eek! Such pretty succulents, and how rare too! Congrats on getting then to bloom! Seems like the monanthes was in better condition than expected!
Yes, all lithops that I'm aware of (although there could be exceptions) bloom in autumn, usually pretty late too. After their flowers fall, you'll...
As for overwintering, since I leave them outside 24/7, I overwinter them all. The lithops especially, will go into their no watering season after their blooms fall off, which coincides with winter for us. I don't think there's a need to try and emulate the winter temperatures, but definitely...
You're an amazing succulent owner! By the end of summer, they'll be double their original size!
Mine are doing good. A few flowers, yeah. The echeveria has put out a bloom stock, tha mammillaria is still going, and I had one gymnocalycium and one astrophytum flower. The euphorbia is in bloom...
Great! In about a week or two, maybe start doing mornings with no shade cloth, until one morning you take them from under the shade cloth, and you never put them back under it
You know what, my brain is playing massive tricks on me. I could've sworn I typed "shade cloth". But, grow lights are actually an equally good plan. Thank you, auto correct me
Maybe keep them under the grow light for a week or two, so that their roots can grow into the pots a bit, and then they should have absolutely no problems!
Lithops can handle serious sun rays. I've had most of my cacti get sunburned at some time, but never a lithops! Shade cloth is such a lovely thing to do for them!
Pluck off a few leaves, lay them flat on a bit of soil (or just lay them on any surface), and wait until roots come out. Then give them a slight watering. When the new succulent is big enough, separate it from the old leaf, and plant it. Water more frequently, but make sure the soil dries out a...
Great choices! After purchasing mine I don't water until I see signs of wrinkling. How did yours come? If they did not come rooter, then you might need to water a little more frequently. But more frequently for them is like every two weeks! Yes, I'd wait for them to wrinkle a bit before...
Looking great! You got some amazing lithops! The grey, and the two brown-ish ones at the top I have but that green amd especially that orangey-pink I'm SO jealous of! Their pot looks amazing too! Good luck! Unless one of those has a different seasonal clock, it's growing season, so you can water...
