Good food for thought during my late night...Thanks. Good food for thought during my late night stroll yesterday!<br />I think I have a bit overfed my Lithops with a splash of water every two weeks, or so. They sure can be a bit fatter in the width and less fat in height.<br /><br />I now have much loam, and will change the substrate to a mix of loam with many rocks. Loam will be so much better than regular soil. Mine are in a greenhouse, so drying of loam should work a bit better than in a window sill, I think, so there should not be a real risk.Aikonoreply@blogger.com
