dorotheae's new clothes

Only a couple of sunny weeks and the lithops are showing their new leaves more and more every day. The dorotheae are working through the old leaves really well but there's still no hurry in watering. ;)
I'm especially looking forward to watering these two and seing their interesting patterns clearly once they start to grow and get rid of the wrinkles.

    1. Hi Lucy,

      just wait until the new leaves completely come out and the old ones dry out. ;) as long as the old leaves are still 'meaty' the lithops doesn't need water simply using the old resources~
