I sure am glad there are NO LIMITS to questions on Greg HA! I know absolutely nothing about these little buggers. The only thing I do know is when they’re splitting like they are do not water them. Can someone have a look please and tell me if these look normal or not? Should I be doing something else to them? I believe I read that when they split you should have two verses one. That hasn’t happened. They split and that’s it. The outer portion just dissipates. Thank you in advance. #TheWateringHole

I’m just learning myself! But I have found that less is more with these guys! I’ve had them for 3 months and haven’t watered them once so far. Yes, you’re correct- never water when they’re splitting. They take the moisture from the old leaf for the new one. Also, the ones that are super long are etoiliated and need better light. I have a very sunny south facing window and am actually considering supplementing with a grow light. I plant mine one to a pot so that I can water them individually- I’m worried that if a dry one is next to a plump one, the one I water will spoil the one that doesn’t need watered. Let me try to track down a super informative video that helped me a ton- and here are some pics of mine!
@Luckeecharm1 @MamaLinne I am also pretty new to lithops but I think that is pretty common to just split. But it looks like this one has formed two pairs? Or were there four leaves there before the split?
I’m also wondering if you planted at different times, because, how is that one on the far left super etiolated like that when the others near it are not? 🤔 Strange!
Anyhoo, so weird and alien, 👽 I love their little 🍑 😜 I hope you had a lovely weekend Tina 🥰

Hi Nadia, I was wondering about that issue myself because they’re all in the exact same place in the exact same window?? they are very alien to me lol. I’m not sure about them splitting into two pairs.? I wish they would I don’t see that. But I don’t have Lithrop eyes for sure. I will keep watching them and let you know. Thank you very much as always. 😍 @DreamMachine
@Luckeecharm1 @MamaLinne so weird!! 🤪 Because that one is SO etiolated and the rest all look pretty dang good 😅 Is the spot, where that long boi sits in the pot, *furthest* from the window? Or do you rotate? Did you plant them all at the same time?
Hi Tina, they look good to me. I’m a big fan of lithops. I had two shed leaves last week and this was the first time I’ve seen them do that. I was concerned about them dying due to overwatering. No the leaves were just crumbling up and underneath it looked like a brand new plant.
