Love the lithop update 💙
Oh wow look at all those gorgeous little lithops you've grown from seed, so many.
I just love them.
The new ones you purchased have such a glorious colour. I adore these plants especially when they flower. I too was amazed at how hardy they actually are. Mine were outside over winter with some protection , as in sitting on a shelf against the side of the house.
Happy gardening
You make growing Lithops so simple than some of the other videos I watched thank you
Glad to help, Cynthia. Thanks for watching.
OMG! I have followed your lithops since you removed them from that white pot with holes in the rim! they are all grown up and with babies too!!!
I'm currently growing lithops from seeds! Great video!
Thank you for sharing beautiful and amazing plants lovely collection
I love lithops also. Thanks soooo much for all your videos Liz.
Glad you like them! Thanks for watching!
Love this video as I am a new mummy to Lithops.
I was too scared by all the over complicating that ppl make to own sooner. I have seeds I wish to try planting now that I feel more confident!
I especially love your pot of adult ones, it is displayed beautifully!
In the wild, Lithops hold on to their seed pods until the rainy season. That's when they open up to release them from the pods. This is why when they're still young, they need plenty of water to grow fast and store up enough water for the coming dry season. A deep enough pot is necessary to give room for the roots to grow where water is stored.
Happy birthday 🥳 So cute 💚💚💚
They said, "thanks Lea." 😊
I love all of your videos by the way. You deserve many more views than you get. I love succulents and grow quite a few myself, not nearly as many as you do tho I hope to one day, and your videos are the only videos about succulents I watch. You have such a charismatic personality and your enthusiasm and passion for succulents is infectious. Please show off your Echeveria more! They are my favorite plants and I got into them because my fiancé’s last name is Echeverria and she bought my first one for me years ago!
Others have said that I only show off my echeverias. 😊 Unless a specific video of a specific plant like this video, most of my videos especially the VLOGS have Echeverias featured on them.
@@GrowingSucculentswithLizK lol oh I know I just want to see more 😆
They are so beautiful and cute i hope you can include also or flex echeveria whimsy😍😘

😍😍😍
Sana balang araw magkaroon po ako Ng mga ganyan na Succulents 😊😊Aral muna po priority ko ta kc scholar lng po ako😊
When the time comes, expert na po kayo at buhay lahat ng tanim. 😁
Yeah, I regret putting mine in only 10% organic, they stay smaller. I have loads of seed, I really should sow some. Maybe a job this winter.
Hello 👋 friend 😍 and beautiful 👍👍👍👍
Thank you for watching friend! Cheers!
Gusto ko dn po ng ganyan kaso po mahal po yan dto..

Love it very beautiful they are.. Thanks for sharing
Thanks so much 😊
pls update us also the echeveria from seeds miss liz😊
Sure will. Need to repot them soon.
Hi can I know how often do I water my lithops if I live in south east asia (summer all year)
And do they need bright direct sunlight a lot? 😢
Love your vibe btw great video 🥺🫶🏻
South East Asia has two seasons. Wet and dry. During the wet season, water the dry lithops. Let the soil dry between watering.
During the dry season, do not water the lithops. They already have enough water stored in their fat bodies to last the whole dry season, unless they become wrinkled, which means they need water. Then give a good soak and drain. But if temperature is high (above 25°C | 77°F), do not water. Wait till temperature go below these temperatures or water at night to give plenty of time to dry. They need a lot of light. Morning sun is best and avoid direct afternoon sun. If they start getting leggy, that means they don't get enough light.
What is that purplish blue green succulents name to the right?? It’s so pretty
Graptoveria Lovely Rose.
Where are you located? Do you leave them outside during winter and rainy spring?
I'm in Canberra, Australia. We get frost up to -11°C | 12.2°F, and they stay outside with the rain, hail or shine and frost too.🥰
What type of kitty litter do you recommend
Can't use straight kitty litter. It's one of the components of a soil mix. Here's a link to my video on how I make my Cat litter soil mix and it's a 50/50 mix with decomposed granite for lithops.

@@GrowingSucculentswithLizK thank you LizK. I wanted to make my own as well as I am just learning. I love your videos and have learned so much from you. Thank you so very much
I dnt get the lithops to survive. We get tiny ones all together in a pot. I have just some a couple who survived the summers. Its very confusing as to what to do in summer. Yours are beautiful!!! Thanku for this vdo.
You should not water them during summer unless the temp at night is below 70f, sorry not sure what that is in Celsius if that’s what you use.
The only time I water my lithops just like my other succulents is when I see wrinkly leaves. I really believe it's the soil mix that makes the difference. Rocks that contain a lot of holes like decomposed granite, scoria, basalt, which can hold some organic matter is suitable for lithops. My cat litter soil mix doesn't have any of these rocks, but it has a lot of coconut coir which keeps the moisture in, but the outside is dry for the lithops roots not to rot on contact.
@@GrowingSucculentswithLizK thank you so very much. I will try and make a different soil mix and also remember this. I will try another batch of lithops and somehow i know after watching your video this time i may just get them to thrive.
@@Bobby11083 thank you so much. That is 20 degree celcius. Which will be a good thumb rule to follow. Thank you.
People always say they only water lithops 3 times a year or something ridiculous like that but they are doing it wrong. I water mine every 7-10 days during the growing season and have probably 80 or so. They love water, just like any plant. They just don’t like to stay wet.
Agreed. The overcomplication of lithop and mesemb care in general is bit of a psyop in my opinion. I come from a different type of agriculture that ppl are notorious for overcomplicating just so they can pretend like they're some type of master grower. It's silly and turns ppl off of collecting them which is a real shame
I'm training all of my babies from seed to love water 😍. They're doin amazing and are some fat nearly one year olds. I just love the mesembs ❤️
Depends on your climate. Humidity temperature and overall weather will matter when growing them. I'm from Europe and you cannot water them during their growth until they shed the leafs.
Exactly! I even water mine (just a few drops of water) even when they are spliting and I discovered that the new leaves get a bigger size than the old ones. In nature, even in dry areas, you dont get scheduled waterings. As long a we have a well draining soil (mineral) should be okay
