gracili kids update

Sown in 2009 these gracilidelineata seedlings finally all present a long fissure of an adult plant. It took them four years. Everytime I see my seedlings from 2008, 2009 or 2010 I can't believe I got them as seeds. I wonder if this feeling goes away once you start growing hundreds of them. I don't think so.

  1. Beautiful plants. Lithops are both simple and elegant, a wonderful combination. Combine that with the rarity of growing them well, and nicely grown lithops are quite special. These gracilidelineata plants look like a fine piece of stone. Quite a long way from the tiny seed that produced them. Very nice plants Rika for windowsill culture. Be Proud.

    1. Now the leaves are getting old (there are spots on them and the lines are not as clear) but when the new leaves first come out in the spring the color and the markings are flawless! :)
