Cute Frithia seedlings 2

I'm really pleased with how the Frithia seedlings are growing. It's quite a change compared to one month ago. I don't have much experience with non-lithops seedlings and mostly try to judge by their looks whether they need something or not. I think it's time for them to get less water - new leaves seem to rip apart the base of the old ones lately.

PS: There's a tiny cluster of moss hidden in the picture, haha.

    1. The moss is living there for a while, doesn't seem to bother anyone :)
      Thanks and good luck to you, too! It wasn't very hard to grow them so far. I'll report on the progress.

  2. They are from summer rainfall area, so winters would be a little drier anyway. They are look great.

    1. Thanks LT! I'll watch them closely from now on. But I think they've grown enough "meat" to survive a little drought..

    1. You should. :) The young Frithia seedlings are the cutest! Still have to figure out the proper care for adults though.

      May I ask how do you water them in winter?
