My #lithops are splitting!!! These are actually my first Lithops and this is absolutely FASCINATING to me. o_o
I must know more about these little weirdos. I do know they're from Africa and they are succulent-like. What else should I know for funsies or for care facts?

Oh Greg, you kinda suck at uploading photos. ๐Ÿ’š
Ooh how exciting! I donโ€™t have any yet but am in research mode. Heidi @princesspitstop shared these videos with me, the channel seems to be very highly rated! Lithops 101: https://youtu.be/pp4xVHICdRM?si=eOIzfWocbdq2WWuk

@DreamMachine ooo thank you so much! So I found these at Lowe's for 5 bucks each! And they are super healthy. ๐Ÿ˜Š If you are looking for one!
I do know that you shouldnโ€™t ever water them while theyโ€™re splitting and they should be in a super inorganic soil!
Mine are in this!
@MamaLinne ah thank you!!! โ˜บ๏ธ I am planning on repotting these guys. Should I wait until they have stopped splitting for a repot?
@JesssJungle Hi Jess! I was lead to believe that these guys hardly need watering, but mine love to be watered about every two weeks or so. I donโ€™t know how to take care of them but Iโ€™ve only lost 3 out of all these. They do like gritty soil! I do know that! Mine were so tiny when I got them! All of them have split at least once so far the big one is in the process! I think they are so cool too? Good Luckโ€ผ๏ธ๐Ÿชด
@JesssJungle Sorry! Here are the pics!
I just got my first one too! Itโ€™s still in the little Loweโ€™s cup. I have a planter that is 2.5โ€ and 6โ€ (guesstimate). I need to figure out what is the best pot for it.
@Ponytailmom so I need to get some different soil? Ack.
@BigAutumnfern88 Hi Aewen- they are desert plants, so they need gritty soil. You can even look up Lithop soil and Etsy or Amazon will have it! Yours are so big! So jelly!๐Ÿ˜Š
@BigAutumnfern88 I would only go up in pot size 1-2 inches. And yep succulent/cacti soil would probably work.
@Ponytailmom yours are so colorful!!! ๐Ÿคฉ I love them. Thank you for the advice on soil.
