Looks like you had great luck with germination!!! I have to say I don't have any of these because of the unusual care they have to receive. I'm not sure I could keep them in my greenhouse during winter due to cool temperature. Yours look so great , I think I'll just watch at the side line and admire from afar. Like I do Claire's . hahaha !! Thanks for sharing!!! From Morris park in the Ozarks, to the U.K. & Singapore, have a great day!!! Peace ,Love Plants!!!✌💖🌵🌺🌴🌻🌲🌹🌳🌷🌿🌸🍀💐😀👍

Very healthy seelings there Daz, I sowed some on the 6th and yours are noticeably bigger. 100% germination rate is pretty common in Mesembs but so is damping off so I would keep an eye on the white fluffy stuff (doesn't look like botrytis though), maybe give them a spray with Fungus Clear if you're concerned. You may find the Mesemb Study Group worth checking out :) Best wishes to you and Edith. Andy.

Hi im now germinating my lithops seeds, i sowed them 3 days ago and when i check from outside without opening the cover, looks like they have white small bugs inside, im too afraid to open the cover or spray some pesticide on them.. what do i do? Please help

Hi Tracy. No don’t leave the pot in the tray of water, just long enough for the substrate to soak all the way through, sow the seeds then remove it from the tray of water.

I just receive my seed today, it looks so tiny, don't ever try to sneeze with this. Btw, I haven't get any topping for lithops, I only have peat moss, can I instead use perlite and leca clay first, must I need to get the lava rock and pumice for this

@Cactimania

You can pretty much use any substrate for sowing the seeds. With Lithops I think it’s a good idea to use small particle sized substrates though, as the seeds are tiny. You don’t have to use lava rock or pumice. Thank you for watching and commenting 🌵☀️🌼🌸🌺🏜

Hello bud :) i have seen all your sowing videos and newer seen you use Perlite. Is there a reason for this? I always use perlite becouse it is so cheap, and actualy thought it was the golden standard these days. I switch to Pumice when i repot the seedlings though. Best regards from Denmark :)!

I've never been a fan of it. Don't like that it can work its way to the surface of a pot after watering as it's so light. There have been a few studies done on it and the dust from it can be carcinogenic. There's even evidence to suggest that over time it can turn the soil toxic and be detrimental to plants.

That doesn’t sound good. If they’re springtails they won’t be an issue, but if it’s mealybug then you have a problem. If they’ve been sealed then it’s unlikely mealybugs got in, so it’s likely they are springtails that were already in the soil. Thanks for watching and commenting 🌵☀️🌼🌺🌸🏜
