You too~<br />All kind of experience in this field is worth to be shared ;)<br />I have very limited space here so My plants are mostly Lithops, but I also have some other Mesembs and Succulents in general. There are posts about some of them in this blog already, like Titanopsis, Frithia, Rabiea, others are Sempervivum, Crassula, Astroloba, Aloinopsis, Haworthia and Neohenricia. Still need to take photos of those.<br />My all time favorite? I really like L. lesliei, as banal as it sounds. ;) Lesliei cultivars as well as "regulars" are just so colorful and the patterns are very delicate.Rikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16260657278983088064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3791556186150948306.post-77683531505265725272012-06-01T11:36:26.777+02:002012-06-01T11:36:26.777+02:00Thank you Rika, you're awesome, and very kind....Thank you Rika, you're awesome, and very kind. I hope good things will come your way. I hope to be able to share some knowledge too when I have more experience and skill in caring for Lithops. :-) Just another question, do you care for any other plants, and what species/cultivar is your all time favourite Lithops?gaianurseryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11367322244187304881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3791556186150948306.post-18824978780117737392012-06-01T06:59:03.406+02:002012-06-01T06:59:03.406+02:00I like it, too.

Their function isn't fully clear so let's think it's for our enjoyment. :)<br /><br />Thank you! I'm very happy if I can help with something. <br />My potting soil is pure pumice. Which means just the pumice stones that you see on the pictures all the way down. I wouldn't recommend the cacti potting soil (at least what I see in stores around here). There's still way to much humus and you have too little control over watering and fertilizing. If you take cacti soil you should probably add a lot of gravel (well-drained mix)...

A little more and they might turn into fulviceps v. lactinea (which I also like very much) :D<br />They've been "in the corner" for a week and seem to show a little more green now.Rikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16260657278983088064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3791556186150948306.post-70171789099767555622012-06-01T02:44:15.349+02:002012-06-01T02:44:15.349+02:00These are beautiful Lithops, and I love the tiny d...These are beautiful Lithops, and I love the tiny dots of blue on them. They look like Australian Aboriginal traditional paintings. :-) What do you use as your potting mix? What do you think of commercial cacti/succulent potting mix? Your website is really cool and helpful.
