Lithos are a type of succulent, succulents need a very airy well draining soil and a pot with a drainage hole. Pretty much all succulents love sun they want all the sun. Succulent leaves hold water so when they a firm there full of water when they are squishy and wrinkly the need to be watered. Make sure you give them a lot of water and let it drain out of the pot, the biggest concern is watering too often and not letting the water drain away or letting the soil dry completely before watering. Hope this helps ❤
Lithops are quite particular when it comes to care! Because they're desert plants, they like being in a mix of mostly inorganic grit with only about 10% actual soil. Mine basically thrive off neglect, I only water them when they start getting a bit wrinkly, and never while they're splitting. The one you have there looks like it needs more light (since it's getting taller, called etiolation).
I was gifted a Venus Flytrap recently, and although they are high maintenance - Cleopatra is magnificent, and she deems this video highly worthy of praise! 🌱💚
The reason the lithops have lighter patterns on the top is because those are their skylights! They let light into the inside of the plant for photosynthesis while most of the plant stays buried in the ground, with only the tops showing.
Ibaleays thought lithops looked like brains, but then you said they look like bums and then the bum bum blooms, and now I can't unsee it. Thank you for that. 😂
I'm always excited whenever you post something new, but seeing my own suggestion comment being featured in the intro gave me some much needed serotonin! Thank you, Carys!!
1:43 I have a lithop in my house :] 3:08 btw to water them you need to take a little tray put a bit of water make sure the pot has a hole underneath and then put the lithop on the tray and let it sit there for a few hours and that’s it!
I love them all 😅❤ you got me chuckling and giggling the whole time😂 I really enjoyed watching you create these cute ones. Hope you could add those skull-like plants and the death mushroom too. That black and white type of mushroom 😊 🍄
Lithops are actually native to southern Africa! Where I grew up there were loads in the wild areas around my home. Like all succulents they need loads of sun and good drainage. A good rule my mom taught me is the finger test, if you stick your finger into the soil (just to the first knuckle) and it's damp, no need to add water, if it's dry, add water. Because there are so many different types of Lithops they can also cross breed, which means over a few years your plants might visually change to look more similar to each other. If you want them to keep their unique colors, patterns etc, you have to keep them completely separate
You wanna know what would be really cute to make?! A Lily of the valley, they are poisonous but really pretty!they are the birth flower of may and represent love,innocence,fertility,rebirth, Purity,new beginnings,sympathy,spirituality and divinity!
I'm a new sub. I play with polymer clay as a hobby, although what I do is more contemporary abstract. I do love your work, it's always super cute and I love your up beat attitude
😅 Carys, if you were serious, I'll take the creepy pitcher plant if no one else claims it first! I love giving misfits a good home 😉💚🤓 love how all these came out! 💜😻
Lithops is one of my favorite succulents. I first heard of it in a greenhouse and have been obsessed by it. I found a place where this guy sells only succulents and cacti and discovered so many cool plants. Pachyphytum, sedum, aemonium, and many others. Of you are into plants i suggest going to your local greenhouse or small buissnes plant people. You will definetly find something amazing
Have you tried putting the air dry clay in the fridge for a night before trying to use it? making it cold might help firm it up a bit and make it easier to work with.
I have a Lithop and this reminded me of my marimba moss ball which is a compounded piece of moss that lives in cold water and dark areas their really cool little fuzzy friends and a perfect starter plant all you have to do is swirl the container at least every hour and change the water every month! I have one named Jeremy❤
My brain seeing the Venus fly trap: LITTLE SHOP LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS BOP SHU BOP LITTLE SHOP OF TER-ERS CALL THE COPS LITTLE SHOP WOAH WOAH OH OOO OH OHHHH
I hope that goopy air dry clay stayed stuck to the baked lithops. It would be a good (but fiddly) compound for sticking baked polymer clay together. I am imagining making a little polymer clay house with individual clay bricks stuck together with the air dry clay for the appearance of mortor. Tbh making that sounds like a stressful time but I kinda want to do it anyway because it would be cute
You saying stinky plants reminded me of one of the interesting flowers I’ve learned about. It is called a Corpse Flower. It lives up to its name, its petals are leathery like a decaying body and its pollen smells like dead human flesh. From what I understand it’s a parasitic flower that attracts flies to it because of its smell and once it releases it’s pollen onto the fly, it’ll be transferred to another plant by the fly and then it will grow on the plant until it eats its host. Luckily corpse flowers are found in the Amazon rainforests and a botany building in NYC. Also as a side note, my most favorite plant of them all is this one called a pitcher plant. It’s a carnivorous plant that can grow large enough to eat bats. It looks very similar to a pitcher and its edges are very slippery so it’s victim can fall in, it attracts animals with scents only they can pick up. The scent leads the animal or insect to its edge where it would then slip inside its secret gaping maw, which to ensure it can’t escape, the lid closes. The fluids you can see without touching the pitcher plant is actually its digestive system. Edit: Corpse lily flowers, that’s the one I was talking about. You so do not want one in your house, they are so bad that you might be accused of being a murderer because it smells like a decaying corpse.
I grow my lithops in cactus mix with added pumis in very small pots so there is less chance of rotting. They are on a stand so they are closer to my grow lights as they are use to desert sun. I only wanter mine when the outer butt is dried fully and paper thin. It's the only way I've been able to keep them alive and as little extra humidity as possible Love these they are so cool
"the butt inside the butt" is such a Cary thing to say
Some say, the butt inside the butt has another butt. Or it may be legend ❤️
@@caryscuttlefishit is ✨NEVER ✨just a legend
@@RandomMadAxolotlExactly. Even legends have a kernel of truth at their core. 😂
Yeah

Wow this was so well thought out thank you SO MUCH, I hope to grow better succulents now!!!

Also. Only water during the "rainy" season of Arizona/desert. They love to be crowded. They also look like an eyeless Kermit
@@caryscuttlefishwe need an update! Did you get demonetized??
@@Lilac_StarLps dose the vid look like it not up?
There is also a Corpse Flower, it's bloom is almost human-sized and they only bloom every 7 or so years. The Amorphophallus titanum
15:11 Why does the Venus flytrap remind me of the plant from The Little Show of Horrors? She looks amazing💚
Yep, I was getting total Audrey vibes too 😊
She absolutely was an inspiration, that character lives rent free in my head FOR SURE!!
I THOUGHT THE SAME THING, like in my head all I hered was "feed me Seymour"

@@caryscuttlefish you should get a cup like that and add a bunch on clay plants to the lid
the corpse lilly looks like a demagorgan! i think thats whats the demagorgans are based off of!
IT DOES 😱
I am so glad someone else sees that
The moment you put the head petals on the …Man flowers immediately went PIKMIN!

I love how it went from "cute cute cute" to "hellish cute"
The Venus fly trap is giving big Audrey 2 vibes and I'm inspired to get back into my monster plant era

Aw!!
I love that in the moody glamor shots the corpse lilly looks like you snuck up on a toddler trying to eat an entire orange at once
The pitcher plant is what inspired the design for the Pokémon Victreebell .
15:25 *"LE GASP"*
*"AAAAAA-"*
gosh that part is so funny, heck, this entire video made me laugh!
It's adorable, You're should continue on the you're journey! :D
Thank you!!!! I will ❤❤❤❤
The pitcher plant was my favorite!! I think it looks suuuuuper CUTE!!
The lithops bring a whole new meaning to Butt Head 😂 I also love how the pitcher plant and stinky lily were screaming.
Ibaleays thought lithops looked like brains, but then you said they look like bums and then the bum bum blooms, and now I can't unsee it. Thank you for that. 😂
that pitcher plant is so cute in a creepy way lol but I think the stinky guy is my favorite
17:37 OOOOO THOSE GUYS FROM ELMO
anyway i love your sculptures and would love to see more :]
I love the Venus fly trap it kinds looks like Audrey 2 from little shop of horrors but cuter
She was TOTALLY an inspiration, that character and puppet design lives rent free in my brain. 🧠
Why does the pitcher plant look like a toilet 😂😂😂 still adorable tho
AN EVIL TOILET!!!🚽
I need this so.badly in my life!! Feed me Seymour!!! Is what its giving
Someone show her caterpillars....its so weird she'll love it.
I love how creepy the pitcher plant ended up, it really speaks to me lol
Ok i can’t be the only one that is convinced that the stinky corpse lilly (rafflesia) looks like the demogorgon from stranger things
Your not the only one😊
Carys the pitcher plant turned out adorable 🥰 10/10 not cursed. But if you’re still terrified of your cutie creation I’ll take it 😂

Aww, the pitcher plant is adorable too!
As someone who raises pet pitcher plants, I LOVE your little weirdo. 🌱
I love monkey orchids and this is such a cute representation of them 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
I'm always excited whenever you post something new, but seeing my own suggestion comment being featured in the intro gave me some much needed serotonin! Thank you, Carys!!
I always called lythops “the cracking stone” plant because that’s what they look like to me
I see more frog face in the Corpse Lily one. Gertie is my favorite! She makes the best Fly-tar-tar for all her fellow carnivorous plants ^^
The pitcher plant looks like a frog😂
12:58, did anyone else think that the plant looked like Aubrey 2 from Little Shop of Horrors cuse all I thought in my head was "feed me Seymour"
Funny enough I've been making a giant man eating plant puppet for the past couple of months! Wonderful video as always!
you’ve been what
God I want all of these, I really hope these get added to your shop they’re so p e r f e c t !
😊🎉yes
You should make a poison ivy frog
Yes😮
The fact you made the little men in the hats Australian is so funny
I thought of a good idea!!,so you could make a collection called the "crying crusaders" with big worry worst crying!!
OMG I NEED that Nepenthes! Pitcher plants are the BEST!
Amazing spilling of the tea lol 😂
19:39 I’ll take it it’s so cute
1:43 I have a lithop in my house :]
3:08 btw to water them you need to take a little tray put a bit of water make sure the pot has a hole underneath and then put the lithop on the tray and let it sit there for a few hours and that’s it!
The kuromi picture on Cary’s wall is everything to me
I love all of them, but the lithops are my favorites😍
I love them all 😅❤ you got me chuckling and giggling the whole time😂 I really enjoyed watching you create these cute ones. Hope you could add those skull-like plants and the death mushroom too. That black and white type of mushroom 😊 🍄
When I was scrolling through my feed, I thought Gertie the Venus flag trap. Was Audrey II from little shop of horrors
Audrey was definitely a big inspiration! Her character design was great! 👍

The naked man orchid would look great in translucent clay
I love your work and your dress is really cute 0:17
10:51 WHY IS IT SO CUTE?! 😊❤
7:24 when you are using that sticky clay try dipping you ands in water is it doesn’t stick to your glove (see if that helps I use it for making dough)
Have you tried putting the air dry clay in the fridge for a night before trying to use it? making it cold might help firm it up a bit and make it easier to work with.
Now I want a lithops! I have always loved succulents but these are a hole new level😂
OMG I LOVE ALL OF THESE SO MUCH, I NEED THEM IN MY LIFE!!!!
