It depends on your climate and the growing conditions. Here is a link to a previous video about care for LITHOPS which can give you some information... If you fast forward to 2 minutes 40 seconds into the video, I talk about care of Lithops. ua-cam.com/video/RpzhhQTnf4A/v-deo.html The care given in the video is based on a UK northern hemisphere climate, are you in the UK? But as a rule Lithops will need much much much less water than a Cactus. If you still have any questions then feel free to ask. Thank you for watching and commenting 😁🌵🌼🌵
Yay what an awesome first unboxing. Those Lithops big and beautiful with bonus seed capsules. Very well explained about those seed capsules. Looking forward for the next part. Thank you for sharing all your knowledge, your viewers definitely learned a lot including me 💚🌵
Thanks so much for watching and for your kind words 😉 These Lithops were great finds because of the price, hope they ripen up well over the coming months 😊 Lithops are great to buy at this sort of time of the year because often they come with the seed capsules 😉 and it's great to repot them I think, before the month of May, so plenty of time to buy lots of Lithops before the cactus wake up again🌵🌵🤣
FANTASTIC and very informative video Claire :-D and your new Lithops are absolutely BEAUTIFUL and so healthy, and brilliant information on the seed capsules, I have learned so much from your video, and I will definitely be having a go at sowing Lithops from seed this year, I have never grow Lithops from seed and you have inspired me :-D and its so good to see you in the video again
Hi Lyn! Thanks so much for watching and for your amazing comment and kind words 🤗 I'm slowly increasing my Lithops collection 😆 It will be great to see you sow Lithops seeds... I know from your older videos you had/(still have?) Lithops but don't recall you doing any seed sowing...so that will be fun for you... This will be a fun year for Lithops... Daz is getting some this year, you're going to sow Lithop seeds, great videos to come from all the planty UA-cam Gang!! 😆 🌵🌵🌵
Thank you for watching and commenting... It will be interesting to see how this new batch of Lithops will grow under just my grow Lights for their light source, all my others are on window sills. I love the size of that singular Lithops too 😁🌵👍🏻🌵
Thank you 😁 Lithop seeds readily germinate and in high number too 😄 I grew from Seed a while back and my young Lithops are doing great and are standing the test of time so far. 🌵🌵🌵😁
Thank you 😊 Thanks for watching and for your great comment, hopefully the seed capsules will be ready by late summer this year 🤞🏻 I will hopefully do an update on them. Have a great evening and take care 🌵😊🌵
Awesome video Claire, lovely looking Lithops. Very interesting hearing you talk about the seed capsules on these plants. I’ll definitely give Lithops another go this year 😊 Looking forward to the next video you got coming on these plants. Thank you for sharing with us as always, from Edith & myself, have a wonderful evening 🌵☀️🌼🌺🌸🏜
Thank you for watching Daz 😊 and for your awesome comment 😄👍🏻 It's nice to start adding more Lithops to my collection now, although I did buy a couple of Cactus yesterday! (They were AMAZING though, in LIDL! Large potted ones! Only £4.49 each🤫) Check your local store, if you are out and about doing necessary shopping etc, incase they have cactus in stock this week, the ones I saw were so healthy and beautiful, I couldn't leave them behind 😄 ...Looking forward to seeing your lithops choices and video and I know it will be a few months into the year but I will have to send you some of the intact seed capsules off my Lithops, if they ripen up okay, but they don't have ID's 🙄 🌵🌵🌵😊
I thoroughly enjoyed this video, Claire. Always love seeing your beautiful face too. 🥰 Loved all the info. Truly motivating us to give these cuties another try. Thank you for sharing with us. ❤️👍🌸🌺🌼🥰❤️
@@edithcoliagrandis Thanks so much for watching Edith...😁🌵 ... thank you for your lovely words💚🤗 Not sure if it helps my videos by me appearing 🤔🤭😆 but I'll pop up every now and then...!😉 Have a great day or evening and glad you enjoyed the video 🌵🌵🌵
Hi, Claire! Wow, those lithops are huge! 🤩 I'm starting with Lithops and recently bought my first group but mine are smaller ones, not even one year old. I Loved the video 👌💕.
Late to the party here. Thank you for the very informative video! I have several pots of lithops seedlings, but just purchased my first mature lithops the other day. If I heard right, you mentioned the growth that will come in May. What should I be expecting to see now then? 😊 I thought I wouldn't see much change until it decides to flower or split.
As we are now in May, most Lithops will be well into their shedding process and its new set of leaves are really appearing now, depending on light levels Lithops will be still shedding old leaves even in May and into June too, so mine are part way through shedding, so when they are pretty much done and the old leaves look crinkly and dry around the sides, you can start to water them. Only once a month is all that's needed, if that atall. So what is meant by them actively growing from May onwards, is that inside too, what you don't visually see, is growing... inside it's leaves it is growing and preparing itself for its flowering phase when Autumn arrives. Thank you so much for your great comment and for watching, happy growing 🌵😁🌵👍🏻
@@CactusCove Thank you! Mine has completely shed its old leaves. I removed the husks when repotting. Forgot to trim the roots (I think it will forgive me), watered it in and will now leave it for a good long while.
@@JanetUrsel Excellent, you are exactly right in what you are doing, no need to worry about the root pruning, it's just one of those things with Lithops, they send off fine feeder roots so if you slightly trim its thick root it just helps it spur on more root growth. Happy growing to you 👍🏻🌵😊
Hello, at the time I purchased all these Lithops from a private eBay seller called stony.023 The seller currently has Lithops for sale, posting to the UK only. Hope this helps. Thank you for watching.
Question 🙋♀️ how often to water the live split rock ?
It depends on your climate and the growing conditions.

The care given in the video is based on a UK northern hemisphere climate, are you in the UK?
But as a rule Lithops will need much much much less water than a Cactus.
If you still have any questions then feel free to ask.

Very interesting about how the rain affects the seed pods. The last one is a big boy! I don't think I've ever seen one that big before.
Thank you for watching and commenting... It will be interesting to see how this new batch of Lithops will grow under just my grow Lights for their light source, all my others are on window sills. I love the size of that singular Lithops too 😁🌵👍🏻🌵
Wow 😀 what beauties. Some nice colours too. Good luck germinating the seeds 🌵.
Thank you 😁 Lithop seeds readily germinate and in high number too 😄 I grew from Seed a while back and my young Lithops are doing great and are standing the test of time so far. 🌵🌵🌵😁
Beautiful lithops, helpful information, looking forward to part 2 and in a year's time to an update on seed capsules:)
Thank you 😊 Thanks for watching and for your great comment, hopefully the seed capsules will be ready by late summer this year 🤞🏻 I will hopefully do an update on them.
