5 Things You Didn't Know About Succulents-Lithops

[@schindel6307]

Mine is green and I just received one for my birthday tonight! Thanks for the great video.

[@alexandracoffin696]

Live 3-5 years?! Lithops only become mature enough to flower at 3-5 years, grow slowly enough to remain in the same pot 10-20 years, and can live 40-50 years (varies by species) if well cared for. If your lithops are only living 3-5 years, you’re doing something wrong.

I love my Orchids but I am starting to keep more Succulents. The weirder the better. I just got my first Lithops today. It is brownish/green with cool markings. Succulents and Cacti are really cool plants I want more. Great video.

[@MariaGarcia281]

Mine is blooming for the 2nd time this year 🐸

[@vladbcom]

Call me nuts but this is the first time I'm seeing these. Fascinating

[@hollyjoyn]

i love your quick cadence of speech, thank you!

[@FreshasflesH]

Great video, although, it is always Lithops and never Lithop.

[@drewhamilton9913]

Awesome video! With such great information, but I have heard because the root words are lithos, and ops. That it would always be pronounced lithops, even when referring to a single plant. I loved the video and thought you'd find that intriguing! Thanks for the amazing content

[@LoreenMew]

you sound so passionate about it ^^ loved it !

[@JustABoy923]

Don't you think it was the guy who first observed the plant in 1811 who chose a name derived from Ancient Greek, not the Ancient Greek themselves 😅

[@sacojohngasbarre1449]

Great video. Remember however that the singular is still a Lithops. There is no Lithop.

[@janefromtennessee]

That's strange. But, they're strange too. I'm trying a few. Hope I don't do badly with them.

[@daneascott9645]

My first lithop ended up dying from something chewing it up a couple months back-several days after I got it. The little guy looked like the brain off of one of the aliens from Mars Attacks. It was a few days later that I figured out that I had mice getting into my house! So shocking and unexpected. I haven't had a chance to get another lithop since.

[@bryantchan6168]

thankyou your videos are awesome and so clearly explain, save me time research, happy growing ! I also kill it by over water, i may grow them after my school exams😵 wish me good luck

[@SucculentAddict]

I'm glad you find my videos helpful.

[@davidschmidt270]

Hey succulent addict! I've recently became a HUGE fan of these underrated beauties ....and I also became a new sub to your channel. These guy's are truly somethin' else ain't they? I live in Phoenix AZ zone 9 b .....they should thrive here no?... But I don't think full sun here would be wise? Tell me your thoughts please! Also in the ending pic of your lithops you can see dark soil....is that cacti soil??? 🤔🤔🤔

[@lithopsinhabitat2209]

Nice info.

[@jaspershepherdsmith9047]

I love this video, but I really can't see how the Ancient Greeks named it if it was discovered in South Africa in the 1800's 😂

[@71shade]

Jasper Shepherd Smith en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Linnaeus en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latin

[@naemeria7278]

The Greeks could not have named it,it's because most scientific names are in Greek.The lady speaking has made a hillarious mistake.

[@QonnyWolf]

Else it‘s not ops but opsis which doesn‘t mean face but to look like or see.

[@stsaylor29]

they are gorgeous, i bought seeds and i just wanted to find out how to take care of them they are beautiful

[@curtiseddie6954]

wear do you get seeds/

[@stsaylor29]

@@curtiseddie6954 you can find them at cactus stores online. I got seeds awhile back but it was from aliexpress the seeds wasn't growing

[@sherylhuffman1413]

I have three lithops one is grayish blue and the one is a grayish green and the other is green . My green one has grown up threw the first two leaves and they are almost shriveled up . I think they have about one weeks worth of water in them and I will remove them when they are finished giving up their last bits of water and have come loose from the new leaves . The other green one has just started to split and I can just start to see the next two new leaves .

[@elmicrobiologist]

👏👏👏👏

[@eujiahealthywealthylongevi4786]

Indoor pot plant near window OK ?

[@idkwhattoputherebuthi153]

How many do you recommend in one pot?

[@desertplantsofavalon]

Such a wonderful video :-) thanks so much for sharing and sending you an abundance of love and heaps of happiness from right across the Emerald Isle for a fantastic day ahead XXXX

[@ericksonp.bugtong6036]

How long the duration of these plants should be expose in sunlight? Pls help me. Beginner here! Thankyou soo much guys!

[@jeandacudag8497]

great video! do you have a video that shows how to propagate lithops? xoxo

[@tweetyandsky7948]

this my favorite..😊

[@indrayudhakusuma7334]

i have a lithops, its called lithops karasmontana... only have it for a month, already peeled the old leaves off, so now i watered it every 2 weeks but just a little... it is wrinkling on one side of the leaf but already water a little and its not perking up 😓 idont know... its my first time ever and i certainly not planning to mess it up 😎 fingers crossed

[@SucculentAddict]

Hey Indra! That's so cool that you've managed to keep your lithops karasmontana alive, that makes me really happy! Also about your lithops wrinkles, that might be due to over watering. Have you bee watering all winter?

[@indrayudhakusuma7334]

Succulent Addict wait .. What ??? I thought it wrinkle because of lack of watering ... ????

[@SucculentAddict]

I found a website that talked about wrinkled lithops, most of their opinions stated that the wrinkles could occur due to over watering, some also said one has to be re-potting it due to its slow growth. Again this is just my opinion and what I've read online. I hope your lithop stays as healthy as ever, good luck!

[@bluerose11]

Over watering causes their cell membranes to burst inside and the plant wrinkles up because of that. It is VERY hard to underwater a lithops. If in doubt, don't water. I grow them in Tucson and I water them around three times a year. They can pickup moisture from humidity also. Protect them from an overabundance of rain also. I keep them in pots so I can move them under the porch when the heavy rains come. Also, in The AZ desert you cannot grow them in full sun. They prefer filtered light here. They also do not like the chlorine that is in most tap water. So use filtered or rain water, or water that has been allowed to sit in an open container for a few days.

[@catflowerfish1919]

Pls what is this soilix?

[@theinvincible7511]

Does Lithops flower smell..??

[@catflowerfish1919]

Soil mix ?

[@Cra3hy]

Mine is blue and I've had it for a year and it hasn't flowered yet

[@SucculentAddict]

Luke Wilbourne ive never seen a blue one in person, you're so lucky!!

[@alexandracoffin696]

If you got it as a seedling (1-2 years old) it will probably be another year or two before it is mature enough to flower. Most species flower at 3-4 years, but it can be as many as 5 years for slower growing varieties.

[@billastell3753]

"that's why the ancient Greek decided to call it Lithops" Thought it was discovered in the 1800s?

[@유영순영순]

감사함니다~^^~리톰스너무너무 이쁞지유 ♡♡♡♡

[@WhatPlantisthatPaul]

Thanks for the information. I will not water mine :)

[@bhumphries1360]

I'm confused, do they live 3-5 yrs....or a decade?

[@19grand]

Aren't they gorgeous. They only live up to five years, is that right?

[@ThirrinDiamond]

Google says some of them live to 50 and we have one now that is 35 years old~

[@xjosiex]

I thought we don’t water during dormancy?

[@thepepperjackpepperco.61]

Thanks for the tips! I just ordered some seeds. I grow succulents and cacti, but I've heard this variety is harder to grow. Any other tips for seed starting? Thanks!

[@blancaalegre2660]

Pueden pasar traducido al castellano por favor gracias

[@merkursderverdson5984]

Discovered in 1811 but named by the ancient Greeks???…. Well bless her little heart.

[@nancymarinelli9791]

I broke off my living stone accidently at soil . Roots still in soil. Can I save. (reroot) the plant?

[@janechanglinjin6556]

Nancy Marinelli, Don't worry. it won't die. put your lithop back in the soil as usual. the plant will reroot. This has happened to my lithop as well. I accidentally broke the root. 2 years already. my lithop still alive n growing well.

[@Botanarama]

Hi Succulent Addict! I just found your channel and I'm so happy - I think we are kindred spirits! I just made a video about Lithops this week too - check it out! 😀👍

[@josearmandosermenoingles3352]

good query a lithops tester in california sacramento i want to buy bad ebay and amazon sell fake lihto seeds i want a real deal to buy

[@유영순영순]

리토스너무이쁜다~~^^~와

[@hannahvincent7119]

They are Mesembs not succulents. Also it’s always Lithops, so you wouldn’t call one a a Lithop. Their lifespan is way longer than up to 10 years, so I have no idea where you got that from...

[@private825]

I killed my first one cuz I left it outside for like 2 days in the hot sun

[@mancnklmancik8224]

I wish you add turkish subtittle

[@eujiahealthywealthylongevi4786]

Must be strong sun ???

[@johnnyflores7032]

The ancient greeks decided to call it lithops? 2:04

[@ΘεόδωροςΦεργάδης]

Lithos in Greeks means stone

[@bensimpson4091]

it was not named by ancient Greeks. and its lithops not lithop

[@MariaFatima-zz7ws]

Só fala português 😐

[@johnnyflores7032]

Why do Europeans get the credit for discovering it? Its very fustrating that they get the credit. Before 1811 the natives in that region thought they were rocks? Is that what they are trying to imply? Thet we need white people to discover things if not it doesnt count?
