I rescued 5 pots from Walmart that were sitting in water. They are doing great now because of your videos! Thank you!

my lithops just hatched, i now have 50 or so microscopic lithops and more hatching every day, they are so adorable with their teeny weenie leaves they look like itty bitty adults.

I'm very new to this journey and I appreciate your knowledge and will be definitely watching all these videos. I do love my lithops

I just picked up 6 lithops from Lowe's. Your videos has been very helpful. Thank you!

I enjoy all your Lithops vids so much 😊

Thank you! For this video Ashley! I’m on my second round of lithops and split rocks and your videos help me. Are Gotham better😊

Thank you! Very helpful.

Brand new here! This is my second video of ours. I bought my first lithops last night..... It's wrinkly. I have zero idea what stage it's at, I have no idea if it needs water. Hahaha I looked at the roots and it doesn't look like they're are hardly any there. Eek. I need to repot it into a better medium but not sure where to buy some. (plus, I only need a tiny bit since my lithops is Itty bitty) Off to watch the rest of your videos. Hahaha

Thank you from this lithops newbie who just freaked out at the sight of wrinkly lithops exactly as you described, just 10 minutes ago... Tylecodon Schaeferianus video, please... 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

Excellent. I wonder if it would be good to talk more about trimming roots. That's another thing people are overdoing.

Great video, hopefully I can find one of yours about general care of lithops, as I am new owner.

I appreciate your details

Great video, thank you, I saw that you have Pleiospilos, please make a video about them and you care, a lost many of these

What does a healthy root system look like for a lithops? I was shipped one bear root and I wasn't sure how it is "supposed" to look. Great video by the way. It's taking some of the edge off. :)

Great video

I found wrinkles on my lithops and totally panicked!! Was advised to water them because they're in full sun everyday (heatwave in Scandinavia), then I panicked some more and took them out of the pot a couple hours later because I'm afraid I overwatered it and wanted to check to roots. Your video calmed me down, I'll repot them tomorrow and stop panicking about the wrinkles! Thanks!!!🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

For all of my cacti and succulents including these I started using the new gritty mix that I have ordered from Amazon. I like it because it is very fast draining.

Hi. Can you also do care video for split rock mesembs such as dintheranthus, gibeaum, etc.? Thank you

Mine extremely splitted early, It split mid march, while my other one is still dormant

For me, Bonsai Jack's full gritty mix. I often mix this gritty mix with my other soil for a lot of other cacti but for the lithops it's straight

Hi Ashley, do you ever grow from seeds? I would love to hear your seedling aftercare advice. Love your videos 🌱

The Liptos wrinkle when they lack water, or when they are changing the leaves, thank you very much for the information

I have a big pair of leaves shriveling a new set coming out of that with a flower that has bloomed and died. Do I wait for the bottom wrinkled set to.dry out and THEN water? Love your channel!

Would a good reliable indicator to water the succulents be when the center part of the plant starts to wrinkle after the outer part has shriveled away? These are definitely the most complex and challenging of all house plants.

:) thanks for this whole video. I got 2 of these and 2 of the weird... dragon cabbage ones :) at a store that was selling them like kinda art and they were all mushed together and distorted so i felt bad but I'm definitely not qualified to fix them - but they are throwing new roots now and opening (had no idea they did that) so watching this has been most useful :)

Greetings from germany. Thank you very much for your videos. Sometimes I regret that you´re speaking so fast, :-) It´s difficult for me to understand everything... no matter...thank you!!

Hi!! I enjoy watching your videos , just sent a request to fb

Hello i am a new subscriber to your channel as well as your facebook page. I recently got some lithops and some are kinda growing longer than other. What am i doing wrong? I want to make sure i do a good job, keep them healthy and alive.

Hi there! Is it ok to repot lithops during winter? Thanks!

In which case did you soak your lithops? One of mine is wrinkled and soft, it’s roots are small and somehow rigid, but alive I think? Also, it has its leaves to shed, but it doesn’t seem close to do so. The center is not soft. I love your videos, kisses from Brazil 😘😘😘

One of the lithops you just talked about was my exact problem. But why do they look great then bam mush? Too much light?

The blanket statements are so hard for a new lithop owner like myself. I honestly don’t know what to do and when anymore.

I’m having a problem with my split rock plant and could use your advice. Is there a way I could send you a picture of the plant with my question to you?

Which is better for lip.. the grow lights or outside with direct sunlight? If underneath grow lights how close with new ones? No I am new at this and handicap as well. Just getting some shipped from nursery Like your video very much Dot Cherkas- in PA

Do you add anything to your water or do you put fertilizer in the pot?

Excedera? is that portuguese? Thank you for the Lithops knowledge! Super Bueno!

Hi wish you did house calls. A few of mine have turned to gush and rotted. I have 2 that have a crease on their sides. Do I water? Ignore it? I still don’t know when to water? Thanks

I've only had lithops since fall last year. They all split ok-ish. I've had 1 flower in july which I thought was early and I looked the other day as I saw a few had started to open a little so thought more had buds growing but I looked In and saw new leaves. Starting to split at the very beginning of September and not flowering beforehand. What is wrong? They dont look sick.

Is it normal that my new growth on my lithops to be REALLY PLUMPY but there is still nutrients on the old leaves? (And no, I HAVENT WATERED IT)

Your tall ones are " stretching", reaching for more light. Ref. Jane Evans, " Lithops in cultivation".

When it's time to water, how do you do it? A couple drops? A soaking?

Most people suggest you soak your succulents when you water. The couple of drops thing is way too much work, and if your soil is porous enough there is absolutely no need for that. Water thoroughly, let the water run out of the bottom of the container, done.

Hi Ashley, Come winter can my lithops live on a windowsill where it gets a little cool ? they live outside all summer here in Alberta. Thanks

Thanks for your videos but I am still unsure of how and when to water lithops. I have lost quite a few lithops bought online but I have a few over watered ones from Home Depot that is taking forever to split and the soil is bone dry. Do I water them or not

Should I place my newly bought lithops in moist soil when I receive them from the seller in the winter?

My lithops afte outer leaves dried up but i notice the split of the new plant was quite mushy in the center along the line. Till i pull it up n notice that the base is all mushy n mold what happen

I have little ones they all have tap roots needs more roots when do i water when they wrinkle or water once a week

hello, I am very green to lithops, but do they multiply?

My place is very hot and my lithops seem start splitting but the process is very slow and seems nothing has changed. The outer leaves are very dry and wrinkle. Should I give a little water and would it die if I leave it without water?

Mine have just split and starting to new one inside... but I'm confused because it's January the 4th so are they growing too late or too early... I've had them for about 8mths in may and they were not split at all... Please advise if I should leave them and not water and or should I put them under a grow light... Please help me..........

My lithops are only leaves. Will they regrow a root system like other succulents or are they done for? 🤔😟😢

The tall lithops is that because they were just born? Do they shrink back to normal size or are they suppose to stay tall? Mine was tall and then I put them deeper in the dirt….that may have been a mistake I lost one of the leaves. 😢

Again right by the Split Rock with the Dying Flower.

Can you give advice on caring for a lapidaria margaratae

Hi, I know it's about lithops, but you have that plant on top left at second 40 of the video and I would like to ask you to identify it. I have the same one and cannot find it out.

A lithops pro told me that he spray or water them slightly especially in spring doesn’t matter if they split or not! What do you think about this?

Amazon ready made premium Substrate can be found Premixed and ready to use for Split Rocks and Lithops.

do lithops need to be old to split? or do younf lithops split also??

How do you managed the watering when you have different stages Lithops in one pot?

U can use the syringe to put water near one of them. They don't need much to stay alive

may i know why i already watered my lithop but it still wrinkly plsssssssssss????

Can someone PLEASE tell me how often I am supposed to water these things? I have 2 that I just got. I pulled the shriveled up leaves off of one when I first got it, then I realized that I am not supposed to do that. What do I do? How often do I water them? How much water do I give? I am so confused.

If you watch several videos about lithops one thing you will find is there is no easy answer. Some plants you just water when dry and you will be OK but with lithops it is more of an art or a feel for their growth patterns and stages. Once I watered one pot of mine and out of 4 plants one blew up. Good sign I'd watered too much. Sorry there is no easy answer like water them every 10 days.

Here in Philippines we only have 2 seasons. Wet and dry season. What would you suggest on watering the lithops?

@kenjiro2676

Leslie Mae Baldoza no. You probably never have to water, just mist if they look a little thirsty, but if in doubt don’t water.

how do you know each lithop's ID?

I'm so confused. I thought you wearnt supposed to water lithops when they are growing new leaves...🙈🤔🤨

hola puedes hacer un video de lithops en español

Sorry What is the name of the tall mythos in this video,really tall

Are all the plants in each pot divisions from one original or did you plant several plants in each pot? If they are all divisions from one original plant, how long would it take to get say 10 plants in a pot? Thanks in advance to anyone who answers this question.

Bill Astell, it depends on which variety. I often pot several together because they often grow better with friends than alone, but many of my pots have just expanded and produced offsets over the years. But it really totally depends on which succulents or mesembs being discussed, As far as how long it would take to go from one plant to 10. Is there a specific variety you were wondering about particularly?

@billastell3753

It is lithops I was wondering about. I guess there are many different varieties so it would not be an easy question to answer without more information. You do have lovely plants. I have just stared growing them and have much to learn. Thanks for making this great video.

the tall guys special special specie??

Love the terra cotta pots with raised scallops, etc. decor on the outside. Can you share where they are available, please?

Critter Girl, I made a video about this and just realized I never uploaded it! 😱 So I’ll do that soon. Quick question, I THINK it was you telling me about going to a nursery in Spokane that had epiphytes and orchid Cacti etc..??? Does that sound familiar? And if so, could you share the name of the nursery please? I’m hoping to visit tomorrow! 🤗

I’m not sure on the species of those. There weren’t labeled with a specific species, and were a gift from one of my viewers! 💗

Is there such a thing as a grown up lithop?

Are you talking to us or your plants ?
