@StableCaleypea it’s never too late! I highly recommend the pack of mixed baby ones from Konger Garden on Etsy!
@MarvelDogrose keep at it! They’re super easy once you realize they like tons of light, and soil that dries quickly after watering. Also, many succulents will visibly wrinkle when they get dehydrated enough to be watered!
@StableCaleypea I highly recommend the multi pack of mixed baby Lithops from Konger Garden on Etsy! The baby ones take very well to transplanting and grow quickly, plus you’ll get a variety of colors! It’s a great beginner friendly option.
@StableCaleypea yay!!! Definitely get them in grittier soil—adult Lithops like 90% grit but these baby ones will grow faster in about 80% grit. It can be anything from pumice to bonsai Jack gritty mix. Make the other 10-20% cactus soil. Plant them high in the pot so they aren’t shaded by the sides. Then water them well and place in a sunny windowsill. They’re dehydrated from shipping, but it’ll take a bit for them to establish new roots, so don’t worry about them. They will be just fine, it just takes them a bit to perk up. I’ve bought dozens of these baby sized ones because honestly they seem to transplant better in the long run. It is fall currently, so water them every 10-14 days, until about mid November. Adult ones will stay dry until about March, but babies don’t always follow the rules, so if they aren’t splitting yet or start to wrinkle, water them a bit anyway. Keep giving lots of direct sunlight. And follow the handy chart on watering (again, water anyway if they get excessively wrinkly—they’re babies). Last step is to just enjoy your babies and be a proud Lithops parent!
