Love this video so much; I currently have several pots of lithops from seeds that I am growing. I hope they survive to the 18 mos stage like yours! at 3 mos they are so cute and already showing the red tint shades. Such a fascinating plant. I've only discovered the wonderful world of succulents 3 months ago and now I am just smitten!! Thank you for sharing your knowledge. God Bless from a viewer from Texas.
Thanks Amie, these are still young, so will only get better. Hope to have another video from another grower soon, he is a bit of a recluse, so will have to work on that one.
Thanks for this really interesting video. I'm just starting a lithops ans succulents collection and your Channel is a real source of knowledge for me. A viewer from France
And thank you for the comment. I have been working with James Lucas for a few years, and he is very enthusiastic to spread his knowledge. We are doing longer videos now, and this may not suit some viewers, or even the you tube algorithm, however we are finding many enthusiasts are tuning in. This gives us the will to take things further. We have a video on Adromischus coming up and hopefully a primer on succulent potting mixes and fertilisers. So a big hello to all in France, stay safe and have a great 2021.
Thanks Ross, we really enjoy making these videos, some are bit obscure however we make them anyway. One coming up on Succulent Crests soon, fascinating oddities.
Hello Lucas, it is fascinating when you go down the track of genetics, Mr Shimada was doing both hybridisation and line breeding. He did this for many years with amazing results. Not many people are as dedicated as he was.
The infrequency of needing to water the Lithops does indeed make it easier. Although some species will do better with different watering. We are working on a more in depth video on these at present. Long term project.....

Thanks for that, and good luck with your Lithops. Stay safe and have a great 2021.
So cool to see these new cultivars, love lithops! Thanks for the video! 🌱🌿🌵
Thanks Christine, some more coming on Lithops in early 2021. Stay safe have a good year.
What a colourful collection of lithops.
Thanks Amie, these are still young, so will only get better. Hope to have another video from another grower soon, he is a bit of a recluse, so will have to work on that one.

No hay palabras me apasionan!!!

Big fan of Succulents Australia. Extraordinary collection and well worth a visit. Learnt a lot from your channel too John. Many thanks.

Intriguing little gems.. can’t wait to see them flower!
Interesting and fun to look at, my sister has a nice collection of lithops. Thank you for sharing 💚💚👍🏽👍🏽
I’ve watched so many of your videos, they’re golden !! So much good information thank you for all the effort you put in! Also they’re very relaxing!
Thanks for that, plants are really relaxing to work with and grow, we do enjoy making the videoes.
@@johnnyAGardening I enjoy all of them, hope to see many more!
I have learned so much.!! Love these videos
Absolutely stunning. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching! More to come on Lithops with a bit of luck an interview with another hybridiser doing great things.
It is amazing how much genetic variation there is. I am slowly becoming obsessed with genetics
Hello Lucas, it is fascinating when you go down the track of genetics, Mr Shimada was doing both hybridisation and line breeding. He did this for many years with amazing results. Not many people are as dedicated as he was.
@@johnnyAGardening It must have been so rewarding. Such a unique looking species with so much to offer. Lithops are epic
WOW. Thanks for sharing. Is it very labor intensive keeping track of the watering for so many individuals? Or does the infrequency make it manageable?
The infrequency of needing to water the Lithops does indeed make it easier. Although some species will do better with different watering. We are working on a more in depth video on these at present. Long term project.....
Is there any organic matter in soil for the homeowner houseplant use?
The Video at ua-cam.com/video/emDXNlNOotI/v-deo.html has more on soil mix, and the recipe is in the notes below the video., hope this helps.
thanks for sharing, it's easy to get many of these collections in China
I love lithops and I’m trying to grow my collection, do you know any good stores or online stores that I could get some from, I’m from the UK
Tony Irons MAY sell them. A nursery in Spain has a very good selection, I will try to find the name of that one from James Lucus.
@@johnnyAGardening thank you very much!!!
