These guys have been looking really rough for a bunch of months. They were my ugly ducklings. I gave them a little drink and they popped and look how pretty they are!! They're still tiny -- pot is 3" -- but I'm so proud of these little dudes. 14 Mar 2020 #lithops #seedlings #grownfromseed #fromseed #growyourown #gyo #gyolithops #lithops-aucampiae-euniceae-fluminalis

File this under #lithopsinahurry -- when a lithops wants to split, ain't nothin holding it back. #lithops #seedlings #grownfromseed #fromseed #growyourown #gyo #gyolithops #lithops-aucampiae-euniceae-fluminalis
It would be cool to see a time lapse video in high speed. These shots are great. Nature is on a mission!
I had the same thought. 😊 Someday I'll get organized enough to do that. @kylers
Finally this guy is starting to split. 10 Mar 2019 #lithops #seedlings #grownfromseed #fromseed #growyourown #gyo #gyolithops #lithops-aucampiae-euniceae-fluminalis
A tiny suggestion of #lithopssplitting on this #lithops-aucampiae-euniceae-fluminalis 4 Feb 2019 #lithops #seedlings #grownfromseed #fromseed #growyourown #gyo #gyolithops
Big Mama, the one strangely large seedling in this pot, has officially begun her 2nd split as of today. 30 Jan 2019 #lithops #livingstones #succulents #lithops-aucampiae-euniceae-fluminalis #seedlings #grownfromseed #fromseed #growyourown #gyo #gyolithops
These guys started doing a lot better now that they live on the new grow shelf. 30 Jan 2019 #lithops #livingstones #succulents #lithops-aucampiae-euniceae-fluminalis #seedlings #grownfromseed #fromseed #growyourown #gyo #gyolithops

Funny lopsided weirdo #lithops #seedlings #grownfromseed #fromseed #growyourown #gyo #gyolithops #lithops-aucampiae-euniceae-fluminalis
Doin its own thing!!!
My wumpy-jawed #lithops-aucampiae-euniceae-fluminalis are starting to show signs of new leaves coming!.... #lithops #seedlings #grownfromseed #fromseed #growyourown #gyo #gyolithops
#ittybitty #lithops-aucampiae-euniceae-fluminalis #seedlings starting to split, all of them with their seedcoats still hanging on. These are the first time I've ever laid eyes on this species so I'm super excited to see what they end up looking like. #lithops #grownfromseed #fromseed #growyourown #gyo #gyolithops
Also a #seedling in this pot of #lithops-aucampiae-euniceae-fluminalis is starting to change leaves! First one! 14 weeks old, 29 July 2018 #lithops #grownfromseed #fromseed #growyourown #gyo #gyolithops
Some of these #lithops-aucampiae-euniceae-fluminalis #seedlings seem to have a problem -- kind of looks like an injury on the side of the leaves. An infection maybe? Not sure if it's genetic or environmental. Hope it doesn't spread to the remaining babies. 14 weeks old, 29 July 2018 #lithops #grownfromseed #fromseed #growyourown #gyo #gyolithops
#lithops #seedlings #grownfromseed #fromseed #growyourown #gyo #gyolithops 9 weeks old 24 June 2018 #lithops-aucampiae-euniceae-fluminalis
These #lithops-aucampiae-euniceae-fluminalis #seedlings seem to be doing kinda ok, except for the peach-colored one at top right that got zapped by too much direct sunlight. I don't know if the color variation is a sign of stress or just normal color change that happens at this age. Nothing to do but wait and see. #lithops #seedlings #grownfromseed #fromseed #growyourown #gyo #gyolithops
@sushiwaitress I have some seeds but don’t have a clue what to do with them. Do you water them ever when they’re planted? Do you sprinkle the seeds on the gravel? Or plant it under? Sorry for lots of questions. 🙏🏼😊👍🏼
@pixierose I fill my pots and water the soil and then sprinkle the seeds on top and cover. Keep the humidity inside for 1-2 weeks. They germinate within 4-7 days usually. Then gradually remove the cover and keep them moist but not soaking ALL THE TIME until the first leaf change at about 4-5 months. I spray them with a mist of rainwater every evening until the top of the soil is soaking. Also, seedlings can get burned and killed by direct sunlight, so I taped Kleenex to my windows.
Thank you so much for such an in depth explanation and instructions. @sushiwaitress 😊🙏🏼
25 out of 24 germinated! #lithops #seedling #grownfromseed #fromseed #growyourown #gyo #gyolithops #lithops-aucampiae-euniceae-fluminalis
Good germination on these #lithops-aucampiae-euniceae-fluminalis. 24 seeds in a 3.5"x3.5" pot with the ziploc-bag-on-windowsill method. Hope they make it... #sofarsogood #lithops #seedlings #grownfromseed #fromseed #growyourown #gyo #gyolithops
About half of my two dozen seeds have germinated in only 7 days. #lithops-aucampiae-euniceae-fluminalis #lithops #seedlings #grownfromseed #fromseed #growyourown #gyo #gyolithops
Two dozen seeds from American Hedgehog Nursery, sown 14 Apr 2018. #lithops-aucampiae-euniceae-fluminalis #plantmarkers
