I’m finding the same thing Liz, my lithops have limped along in Canberra with me babying them but when I moved to Orange everything out in open weather, they are thriving!

[@GrowingSucculentswithLizK]

Treat them mean to keep them keen...LOL

Pretty lithop! 🤗

[@GrowingSucculentswithLizK]

Thank you! 😊

[@janetac1738]

oh thank you!! ive never seen them up close like that and i had no idea how they multiply like that!!! theyre so interesting and i thought they were so boring!! im getting buried in snow right now thats why i was so late for the video tonight!! theres already about 6 inches and its not stopping for another 12 hours maybe haha!!!

[@GrowingSucculentswithLizK]

They're so easy to look after. Repot every 3 to 5 years or when their pot fill up. Sounds like you have a perfect excuse for binge watching KZbin videos on succulents. Take care and keep warm.

[@mariavega7308]

[@GrowingSucculentswithLizK]

Bukas...😄

[@xuanhoang2940]

Hi mama Lizk, is it ok to keep them outdoor when I just newly plant them in winter? Thank you

[@GrowingSucculentswithLizK]

New succulents should be given at least 6 months to acclimate when bought during winter unless it's Sempervivum.

[@峨眉颦颦]

Great timing. Thank you

[@GrowingSucculentswithLizK]

You are so welcome.

[@gabbiemartin3091]

Liz! I’ve binged watched tons of your videos and I have seen this planter in a few of them! I’d love to know where you found the planter for your lithops with all the holes around it?

[@GrowingSucculentswithLizK]

Use to be a no hole bowl and I just drilled the holes that's in it.

[@reneekennedy38]

Hey Liz, what kind of planter do you have your lithops in? And what is the green plant right behind it that looks similar to a heart

[@GrowingSucculentswithLizK]

The planter is a double layer ceramic pot that I drilled holes all around. The green plant is called Pleiospilos nelii. Also a stone plant.

[@Hope-milo2205]

Thanks for the video, Liz. I’m cringing every time you tried to peel off the outer leaves of the lithops that split...you’re supposed to leave it alone until it completely dries out as the new plant will eat it out ( per Google advice) 😂 But, who knows which is right? Too many conflicting advice out there. Your plants look healthy anyway. They said not to water them in summer as they are dormant, mine became wrinkly so I watered them and now they look healthy. My gauge when to water them is when they start to wrinkle on the side. Love your videos.

[@GrowingSucculentswithLizK]

Thanks for watching Rosemarie. I've had these lithops for 3 years and they've flower in Autumn, go dormant in Winter and in Spring they start growing and dividing all through summer to form flower buds in time to bloom in Autumn again. We've had so much rain this year that some of the exoskeleton needs removal to stop the water collecting on the gaps and rotting the plant. I have observed that they only feed off their skin when there's extreme drought. Plenty of rain means some of the skin has to come off or they have to be placed somewhere protected from the rain which means less air circulation, less light and attracts the nasty insects. I have to stop now(lol) or else I'll have to write a book here on this comment page about lithops. There's more to these plants than meets the eye.

[@amichele862]

I wanted to give them à try but its very difficult to find where i leave. Very beautiful your collection.

[@GrowingSucculentswithLizK]

Thanks!

[@amandarhodes763]

Have you sown lithops seeds? A video of your advice would be awesome! ♥️😊

[@GrowingSucculentswithLizK]

I never have but willing to try.

[@minhchanh7058]

Do you have Echeveria Prolifica??Can you make video about it?

[@GrowingSucculentswithLizK]

They are one of the easiest echeveria to grow and that's why it's named 'PROLIFICA.' I won't make a specific video on them but will feature them in one of my vlogs. Thanks for watching.

[@dansaldana3450]

Trying to fine those

[@judithrymbai6859]

I have never seen a plant like yrs it really look like a stone yeah

Thanks!

[@Lisa-zi8dj]

I can't decide to buy them or not? They looks so hard to look after, seems easy to kill... 😄 😘

[@GrowingSucculentswithLizK]

They have been the "MOST EASIEST" plant to look after for me. Put them in a pretty pot and forget about them and every now and then, they greet you with the most amazing flowers.

[@pegadinhasmelhores5759]

let's dance

[@nenengmakulit3504]

Hard for me to take care this one

[@GrowingSucculentswithLizK]

They're the easiest succulent for me to 'not take care'...LOL They take care of themselves.

[@redbutterfly88]

Did i heard it correct? u only water that lithops 2x a yr? So that 2 yro lithops only got a sprinkled of water 4x in their lives?

[@GrowingSucculentswithLizK]

Here is what I said in the video. "I’ve had these lithops for about two years and Four months to be exact. These has already seen about three winters. I keep them out in the open. And they get rained on and a lot of sun...........I basically water this twice a year not even water heavily I just sprinkle it. Give it a good spray but not really saturate it." Because they're grown outdoors, and we've been getting a lot of rain for the past couple of years, I have only "physically" have to water the ones at the back twice a year when they start looking thirsty. The ones that gets wets by the rain, I don't water. Thanks for watching.
