Lithops bloomed, so happy!

Y’all, my Lithops bloomed!!!! 😱 #LithopsArmy #HappyPlants bloomingSuccs">#bloomingSuccs #SucculentSquad #SucculentLove
3ft to light, indirect
4” pot with drainage
Last watered 1 year ago
@LatiTish84 I literally laughed out loud. This is definitely getting marked β€œbest answer” lmao
@LatiTish84 some of them have white flowers! I’ve been just super happy I haven’t killed themβ€”I didn’t expect to get a flower! But thanks for the laugh! Always appreciated! πŸ’š
YEEESSSSSSSSSSS. That’s always awesome when they flower. And the flowers start to get huge. Bigger than the lithops it seems. And that’s even more awesome that the one in the back is now becoming two on one root system. It’s so cool when they grow in big clusters with multiple heads. I’ve seen some that where over 30 years old in videos and they look crazy.
Yours all look so good too
@SirLiquorice thank you! I really admire those huge old clusters! I would love to keep these guys going for the rest of my life! I love them so much. My mom teases me that they’re my pets. Lol. I try really hard to keep them healthy. They’re all enjoying the cooler temps we’re having here in Kentucky at the moment.
@SirLiquorice you have some fantastic plants in your oasis!
@Jana85 if you haven’t seen this video you’ll love this one. This nursery acquired a huge collection of lithops back in 1986. So they have big clusters that have been growing there since then. Crazy to see lithops that are that old. https://youtu.be/y8-2UYvMrLM
@Jana85 and thanks I still have to add a bunch to my oasis. I keep being too lazy and some aren’t in the app and it wasn’t letting me create a new one, so I gave up on some. I need to try again eventually. I am sure I have over 200 now but not sure how many
So cute πŸ₯° congratulations πŸ₯³
@Jana85 congrats on the flowerπŸ₯³πŸ€© I’m trying to figure out what I’m doing wrong… I watered my lithops and they appeared to be splitting then they go back to the way they were… is this normal?
@SirLiquorice I watched that video, WOW I'm seriously going to research Lithops and am probably going to try my hand at growing Lithops πŸ€”
@FirstCanna wow, I can’t even imagine what you’re describing! Can you show a photo?
@SirLiquorice holy cow! That entire place is mind blowing! Those giant totem pole cacti! 😱 And those were the most amazing Lithops collection I think I’ve ever seen. Some of the pots were bulging out from the size of them. I can’t even imagine. I hope I am able to keep mine alive for decades to watch them grow like this. I wish I could visit a place like this in person.
@Sassylimey I highly recommend themβ€”they’re so funky and cool! And if you just research a little on how to grow them, it’s actually really easy. Two of my friends grow them, too. And you can have a whole collection in a small space because they’re so tiny. πŸ’š
@Jana85 once they dry out the split seems to lessen…
@Jana85 it’s ok I did some reading and now I know the problem…I had my seasons confusedβ€¦πŸ€¨πŸ˜πŸ˜”
@FirstCanna it looks like none of them are actually splitting currently. They always have a little butt crack. Lol. When they actually split, the leaves will open up and a crack will form and new leaves will be visible. So, as they get dehydrated and then hydrated again, the crack in yours can definitely get more and less pronounced. They look super good and healthy!
I can’t believe I didn’t respond to this yet !! It’s beautiful 😍 you truly are the lithops lord commander!! @Jana85
They had some good lithops at the nursery yesterday
@Lithopslover I like it 😎
@SirLiquorice I would die. I would’ve bought all I could afford. Lol
@SirLiquorice does that nursery sell online? If so what’s it’s name?! 😍
@Lithopslover it’s Rainbow Gardens nursery but I don’t think they sell online. Www.planetdesert.com sells and ships lithops however.
@SirLiquorice planet desert does ship lithops and they have amazing quality, I wish they’d let pick species :(
@Lithopslover east Austin succulents will ship to you. I am just not sure how often they have lithops. But that makes me want to ask them
If they let you pick species tell them to shut up and take my money! @SirLiquorice
@Lithopslover I just sent them a message to see what they say
πŸ‘€πŸ‘€πŸ‘€πŸ‘€πŸ‘€πŸ‘€ @SirLiquorice
@Lithopslover you can find nice Lithops on Etsy, too. YongquanLITHOPS is a good seller.
@Jana85 I’ve seen them but I think all their specimens are so small and i worry about smaller sized plants because I have no@idea what im doing and need a forgiving plant
