Plant With Me || Lithops, Split Rocks, & More

Hello everyone! Today I am planting my succulents that I purchased from the local home and garden store. I am using a new soil type, which I am hopeful will work better for these plants that need a little more babying. I hope that you guys enjoy the video and don’t forget to give me a thumbs up, comment below, and subscribe.
Hello everyone! I am doing a crafting/ planting video today to go with my Bullet Journal Video about planting Lithops! Lithops are these awesome little plants also known as rock/ stone plants. They are super cool and require very little water. I purchased 2 packets of 25 seeds from Microlandscape Design (link below) as well as the soil. They sent me free baby lithops with my purchase so I can enjoy the cute little grown ones while I grow my own!
As always don't forget to like and subscribe! Stay tuned to the end to see how much my lithops have grown in a little over a month!

Hi! As someone new to lithops, I really enjoy watching these.
When I’m planting in a loose medium like gritty mix, I roll up a piece of card stock into a cone, adjust the width to fit the plant with the roots at the tip of the cone, then I push the cone into the medium to the depth I want, place the plant inside, then slowly let the cone open up, and remove from around your plant. The plant will drop right in, and the potting media will fall in around the roots.

Hi! Any updates on these guys? I'm about to pot some up and just rcvd the same gritty mix.

I'm new to lithops. You don't plant them in dirt soil, just a pumice stone?

[@thelittlequilter87]

You can do a gritty mix which has a mixture of tree bark, porous rock, such as pumice, and something called turface. It helps to hold water but also drain quickly. Pumice is quite similar. With lithops you want something that is going to be quick draining because itll help you avoid root rot. While you can still overwater your lithop with this it makes it much more difficult to do so than with regular cactus or succulent soil you might find at your local hardware store.

Is there an update on these guys? How did they end up?

You don't plant them in dirt soil, just a pumice stone? Do you grow well?

[@thelittlequilter87]

Lithops do not like soil that retains water. If they are planted in this type of soil then they will likely explode from too much water. Lithops do not have an off switch when it comes to absorbing water. Therefore you have to learn your plants so that you water them appropriately.

[@kenjiro2676]

The etiolating Lithops should survive if you give them the right amount of light, once they shed HOPEFULLY the new leaves underneath are much shorter.
