Hello Tumblr!

With a week of Thanksgiving hosting preparation (and cleanup), I have had no time for plant ID requests, questions, nursery visits, or content posts. Apologies, but it was a busy week!

Here are some previously taken photos of Lithops until I can get some new content lined up and and any further questions answered!

Hope everyone had a wonder break!

More #PalomarCactusSucculentSociety show highlights. Look at all the variety #succulents have! I know the cute colorful rosettes that are popular right now have a lot of variety but there are SO many more kinds than that! #cactusshow #cactusandsucculentshow #cacti #succulents #succulents #cacti #SanDiegoBotanicGarden #haworthia (at San Diego Botanic Garden) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bpgb8cdHnI5/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=156ecy1v5jlti

Bloom, blossom, blast those colours!

None of my Lithops flowered this year, but most grew two new heads instead of one. The big one at the bottom just split into two after 3 years of no growth whatsoever. It only split once in the 4 years I’ve had it.

Lithops salicola (maculate form)

Lithops is a large genus in the Ice Plant Family (Aizoaceae), all native to southern Africa. These plants are often called “living stones”, and indeed they do blend right in with the pebbles in the places where they grow. But they put on an eye-popping show when they burst into bloom, as seen here with the maculate (speckled) form of Lithops salicola, which comes from near Hopetown in South Africa’s Northern Cape Province. This is very near to the center of the country.

Today i noticed my lithops were still wrinkled even though i had watered them multiple times the past few weeks so i decided to check their roots. Lots of these had dead roots and the only thing i could think of was pruning the roots … also divided them in 2 pots so it’s easier to water them in the future and check up on them. i really want to be good at taking care of these lithops and watch them grow, so i hope this was the right decision.

my stinky friend is blooming again! since it’s cold now we can’t have the windows open 24/7, so the smell is much more prominent now than during the summer

i think tindra approves of the smell through
