How to fertilize Assorted Pleiospilos

Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Assorted Pleiospilos after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Hello, I am new to split rocks. I think mine is doing okay. It looks like it is growing new leaves. At what stage of new growth do you stop watering? Also, do I need another level of leaves or is it okay? Thank you all for your help in advance. #SplitRock

Split Rock Yellowing I got this little split Rock from Lowe's a couple weeks ago and I have not watered it all. The last watered date on Greg is when I bought it. I assumed someone at Lowe's watered it at least once. The soil was bone dry when I bought it but it had a minor yellow spot that I chalked up to a light sunburn. When I repotted it into terracotta the taproot and others were great. I had it on my windowsill and moved it a couple inches forward so it got more sun. Now the little spot is a big, spreading mushy spot. I thought it might've gotten sunburned so I moved it back. The mushiness makes me think it's overwatered though. My other split Rock seems to be doing fine in the same spot. Could it have been overwatered before I got it and is just showing signs? #splitrock #question #succulentsquad

Question for #greggers successfully growing Split Rocks (or Lithops) .... I've mastered almost every variety of soft succulents but these ones I'm fairly new to. I'm debating growing these guys outside on my deck OR inside under growlights.... Given that my Southern California climate is decent enough for these species I can do either. I purchased them at a nursery where they were kept outside in part shade. They looked very healthy so I put 'em on my outside deck in similar conditions. I'd like to repot them in better soil & a taller pot before they split /bloom & also to give more room for the tap roots but they are currently dormant in the summer high temps. Right now it's in the high 90's in Los Angeles! 🥵 Should I wait a few weeks without watering and repot in October when temps are lower or should I move them inside under grow lights and repot in a week or so Also, for those that grow under professional LED lights do you know the PPFD (μmol/m2/s) that split rocks and or Lithops prefer? Thanks! #splitrock #lithops #lithopsarmy #succulentsquad #succulentlove #plantaddict #greggang #gregteam #socalgreg #outdoorgrowing #growlights

Is this mold? #SplitRock I haven’t watered these two for 3+ weeks, but I noticed today that my royal flush seems to be molding/rotting! Can someone give me some pointers? #RootRot

My split rock Gonzo is starting to flower! 😍 He first started splitting about four months ago, so it's been at least that long since I last watered him. Very excited to see what color flower he births! 👀🌸 An important reminder: STOP WATERING your split rocks and lithops when they start splitting! It means they're growing a new set of leaves. The old set will start to break down and be reabsorbed by the plant, which provides it all the nutrients and water it needs for the duration of the process. Any extra water you give it during this time could cause the new leaves to rot. You can resume watering once the old leaves have completely shriveled up and disappeared. #SplitRock #FloweringPlants #SucculentSquad #SucculentLove #Pleiospilos #Mesembs #NewGrowth #GregGang #stephonicle

I see Rocky is now splitting even more to multiply, I guess. It's fun to watch. He has opened quite a bit since September 1st. #giveaway @SesameSeeds777 @itsjordan

Hi, I have been using Greg's app since I got rocky the Split Rock, and it has been on point for the watering. I've been reading not to water a split rock when it has new growth. Is this correct? There are so many different versions. Or continue to water?

#splitrock #SucculantSquad Hi everyone! What are these tiny brown specks? Should I be concerned? They are on the inside, too. TY
