I think this guy actually got smaller than he was last year. I had him planted in pumice, but the grains were too big and didn't hold enough water. I'm glad he survived. 12 Apr 2020 #lithops-aucampiae-kuruman

#lithops-aucampiae-kuruman slowly making progress. Gave him a little drink to help him pop through the old leaves. 8 Apr 2020

I was pretty sure this guy was going to die (I've killed two more of my #mesagarden #lithops since moving them into individual pots with smaller grit), but today there is an actual proof-of-life. 24 Jan 2020 #lithops-aucampiae-kuruman

Decided to repot my group of six #mesagarden #lithops into individual 3" pots because some of them aren't doing so well, and their individual needs have to be cared for without harming their neighbors. Best practice for adult lithops is to not mix species, but when I first bought these I didn't know that and potted them all together. 21 Jul 2019 #livingstones #succulents #lithops-aucampiae-kuruman

Looks like a reptile eye!! Awesome! Love it. What month is good to plant seeds?

@heatherdirtyhands if you're growing them indoors you can start seeds at any time. I've heard mostly that spring and fall are the best times to start. I've done both.

This guy plumped up a little since being watered last week, but it's still not enough IMO. #lithops #livingstones #pumice #succulents #lithops-aucampiae-kuruman

I love how the old leaves of this #lithops-aucampiae-kuruman have gotten dried out but are still ruffled. Like a couture dress with lots of boning. #lithops #livingstones #pumice #succulents

Apparently #lithops love #sunshine and warm weather! It got up to 62°F in New Jersey today, and my #lithops-aucampiae-kuruman changed A LOT! I took the first photo around 10:30 am, and the #afternoon photo around 3pm -- what a difference a day makes! #mesagarden #succulents #livingstones #succulent #pumice #afternoonsun
