I’m losing my #LithopsArmy 😒 Four plants from this pot has already died! Two plants look totally full of juice. Four other remaining plants are trying to survive… ☹️
1ft to light, indirect
4” pot with drainage
Last watered 3 weeks ago
How often do you water them?
@Seedstarter I don’t water them because they don’t have roots. But I made one thing, I put the pot with lithops for several days into a bowl with water so they can soak some water. I guess i kept them there for too long.
@vvvelo I would water them whem new to allow the roots to grow especially the tap root and them to settle in. They may be picky but the occasional extra water won't harm them.

Lithopses typically grow one big tap root that has smaller ones coming off it.

How long did you keep them in the water?
@TheLonelyDaff I kept them there for several days.
@vvvelo might be, were they squishy when they died? Or still dry and wrinkled?
@TheLonelyDaff no they were squishy. They have rotted lol πŸ˜‚ It is ok. They were too weak to live with me! πŸ€­πŸ˜†
@vvvelo πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ only the strongest for Volodymyrs lithops army 😎
Great way to look at it. Those 3 on the left are looking healthy and plump so 🀞
@TheLonelyDaff yeah! Those three are the strongest wariors! πŸ€“
