After searching at least 30 videos on the culture of Lithops, yours, by far, is the most succinct and comprehensive. Thank you so very much. My daughter and I are very happy with our new Lithops purchase and now feel confident we have repotted them correctly and understand their specific life cycle that you described so very well.

This is perfect timing! I bought one last year that had two in one pot; I separated them out of the nursery pot last June and repotted them into separate tiny pots using special bonsai soil mixture. Last week one was looking so shriveled I thought ut oh...I watered it and now it’s splitting... so exciting😀 I can’t wait to see the new babies! They both live in my S facing window and they are adorable! Thanks for the video. I can’t wait to buy a new color. I did think they were slightly boring but when I saw the one starting to split it was a game changer.

Thank you for this video! I just bought this plant 🌱 and it’s one of my favorite succulents. Mine is a purple color and I only have one since my parents house is not the brightest . I pretty much just buy low light plants that are easy maintenance. Mine just split open a little and I’ve only watered it once this month so I’m not sure when to water it again. Maybe in June I suppose. Love your collection.

You really got me into lithops!! I re-potted the first one I got into 100% perlite and it rotted .. idek why cos I didn't even water it at all. But, it's okay, I got more after that first one. I used maybe 70% perlite and 30% soil and some aquarium rocks for top dressing. They're doing okay so far, and no signs of rot. Hopefully next year, they flower for me :)

The were deliverd today and i don't know if i have to be disapointed. They don't look 'bright'. They are very little Lithops clusters. I find the color poor. But maybe i am wrong about that. As they are soooo little/small like a needle i don't know if i should seperate them. Thanks for this great video, i learned a lot!! 🤩😍
