2012 lithops seedlings report (addendum)

My blog is interactive so, as requested, here come the pics of the L. aucampiae C2A, the white-flowering C2. These seedlings had beautiful parents (click, click) but they died on me back in 2010. I can only hope the kids will be stronger. Sown in October 2012 they are now busy changing leaves for the first time. While some of them show more color (adult plants have reddish/pinkish lines and windows) others are still patterned very vaguely and hide perfectly in the moist pumice stones (there are 14 plants).
They are spread so evenly because I had to transplant them after knocking over the pot... twice. XD


Now that I think about it, I'm not very good with aucampiae in general. Might be their size but they often don't make it through the regeneration safely. I'm trying to grow them from seed now.

  3. Realised that my aucampiae (several numbers) have problems with regenerating too...

    1. I think, it's the size. They grow too big and then can't digest the leaves properly... For rather common species they can be really difficult..
