Hello again everyone. I was just wondering, over the winter period when you either water very little in these semi hot environments or water not at all, is it...
Hi Erika How soft is the soft of your Lithops? Softness usually indicates rot, which is usually due from overwatering or some sort of bug. I've had Lithops...
Hi Erika. During the course of a warm autumn day and especially so if it is windy, one's lithops may show slight signs of wrinkling by late afternoon. However,...
Well they are slightly soft like they are usually hard or firm but the thing is i havent been watering them, caus its currently cold and cloudy so they arnt...
Hi Erika, Softness from rot usually starts in patches and those will quickly become sunken and very soft, mushy even. If the softness is from lack of water...
Hi, I recieved my Lithop seed today and understand fully the planting and germination process, however I am not sure what to size container to start them in....
I think you might be right, i noticed today that most of them were slightly wrinkled at their base. They are all fairly young plants, none that we have had...
Hi Wanda Lithops don't mind being closely packed together when still seedlings, so you don't have to be to concerned about that. The size of your tray or pot...
Hi There Wanda Lithops actually seem to enjoy a little crowding when they are babies! I'd suggest using a 100mm x 100mm container, depending on how many seeds...
Don't forget that the seeds need direct sunlight to germinate so don't put them under any soil or sand. A thin top dressing of sand similar in size to table...
Thank you, I sort of thought something that size would be ok. I got 100
seeds. You can't even see them, they are so tiny! I will let you know how
they are...
Hey, I figure, 10 out of 100 may live, Ha Ha.....Wanda ... From: ~ Ding! Date: 05/05/05 07:49:16 To: Lithops-SA@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [Lithops-SA]...
Hi Wanda Well, actually I have this cunning plan with my Lithops. I'm hoping to get my brother (at some point) to make me some dog-proof stands from metal,...
Talking about too many Lithops, I plan to grow at least 400 "varieties", multiply that at least by 4 of each = 1600 Lithops... and most likely a whole lot...
Well Andrew, I am no longer worried about myself! LOL Wanda ... From: Andrew van Ginkel Date: 05/06/05 10:20:31 To: Lithops-SA@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re:...
I can guarantee that Lithops seeds do not require direct sunlight, or even natural light of any kind, to germinate. They will germinate extremely well in an...
Wanda, Despite seeming almost impossible, it is worth trying to individually place those specks. Then they will be able to grow undisturbed for a very long...
I should have said they need 'direct light', basically sow them on the surface not under the soil or sand - at least that's what it always says in the...
Hi Wanda and Ian Mix them with a bit of fine sand and put mixture in a salt shaker and away they go (if you have lots), read in Steven Hammer as far as I ...
You are funny! LOL Wanda ... From: Andrew van Ginkel Date: 05/06/05 14:19:12 To: Lithops-SA@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [Lithops-SA] Growing from seeds/...
Hello All, I have saved the previous correspondence points on growing lithops from seeds .. But now I actually have them in my possession, I was just wondering...
Hi There Just to share what is happening in South Africa at the moment. Attached is a pic of my Lithops jullii that I bought from Etwin Aslander about a year...
