Thanks for putting the word out on the importance of inorganic soil. I hear so many people say their lithops rot and I really think the soil is the problem more than the watering.
Pro tip: pumice is a game changer with lithops and other mesembs, No other additives needed, mine grow perfect in utter neglect blasting in heat and sun on the top shelf of my greenhouse Just enough water retention to refill their tissue and plenty of aeration to dry out quickly
I bought the same plants from Home Depot. They look humongous. I’m surprised how that’s even possible. I repotted them and don’t water. They look the same one month later. I wasn’t not sure what to wait for.
I have been tempted to try these from our big box store because they look surprisingly good, and many of them are blooming! I figured our summer heat and humidity would just destroy these, though, so I have shied away from them. Will these survive here ok?
Appreciate the video. I have several lithops that are still in their storebought soil that need to be repotted into a more granular mix.

It really makes a difference for sure!
Very nice ♥️♥️♥️

I've only given a small sip a while before I repotted. Nothing has changed for me either. They're definitely freakishly large.

Give it one shot at least! I bring mine indoors to a south facing window sill during the hottest months, June-August or so.
Ah, ok… thank you…they’re so inexpensive there it’s not like a huge investment risk! 😂😂
