Why not set up the tripod so she can talk too! Little distracting when the director is talking over the person in front of the camera.
Perfect timing. I just got some new lithops and have been doing research on watering. Thank you for the advice. I’m in the US so most of mine are splitting now in winter, but your videos help me to know what to expect in the months to follow. You guys are great! I hope your family is well. :)
Thank you Melodie :) Your very welcome too, we love sharing our experiences with everyone. I hope all is well for you and your family in the US and I hope your Lithops grow beautifully for you :D
I HAVE HEARD that they're MEANT to wrinkle as they're pushing up the next 2 leaves. Watering then WILL KILL them. But you gotta know what part of the cycle they're at
Yes that's right. When the outer leaves are starting to get squishy, avoid watering until most of the outer leaves have pretty much died from the new leaves consuming the nutrients from them 🙂👍
SUCCULENT BUDDIES, I recently bought plants from Mr & Mrs Mick, I have purchased a lot of succulents online but none as superb as the plants I received from Mick's succulents, each specimen was large and beautiful with an impressive root system just like the lithop shown here. Care and attention is taken in wrapping, labeling and ensuring they arrive in the best possible condition. I am delighted with my new plants.
Thank you so much for the awesome review! 🙂🙏 we really appreciate it and so glad to hear you are happy with our plants 😃
I thought you watered these plants about three times a year. Because they store a lot of water in their fleshy leaves unless I was wrong. Tried growing them as a kid but they died. Must have overwatered them.
That is true, but when they are young (straight after germination) they do require extra watering so they don't dry out completely. I think in production settings, people water them more to get faster growth out of them so they can sell.
3 times a year FOR ADULT plants. You still water the babies a lot. This goes for pretty much all succulents except the tropic succulents which need be watered far more like zigzag cacti and dragonfruit. Stupid me bought about 150 dragonfruit plants and then find this out later.
Lithops are still on my to-get list.
So gathering info on them beforehand definitely helps.
Good to see you guys back with your tips ☺️
Thank you :) It is nice to be back. Yes, I definitely agree on getting some info on how to grow these guys :)
Excellent video. Not seen such a healthy root system. You are guys are doing great

Hi Donna, it would be just over a 3 and a half hour drive. Not sure about train sorry.
I have been struggling to keep my lithops alive, very helpful info. Thanks a mill. 🌷
I'm sorry to hear that 😔 they can sometimes be a bit temperamental.
it would be helpful if your volume was turned up a bit!
Thank you for your feedback 🙂🙏 we can try to make sure the volume is better in future videos 🙂
thank you so much guys for amazing advice .i love your channel. i maded the same mix and now my lithops are happy
That's so good to hear! 🙂👍 your very welcome 😀
Why was she trolling him about fractions? I understood what he was saying just fine. Then she ruined his outro with “I just wanted to say..” as if he didn’t address watering already.
I confused my wife at the time of me saying the parts. I don't think it was trolling at all. Nothing wrong with her asking me questions while filming 👍
I HAVE HEARD that they're MEANT to wrinkle as they're pushing up the next 2 leaves. Watering then WILL KILL them. But you gotta know what part of the cycle they're at.
