I wonder how look it...Yes, I'm proud of them :)<br />I wonder how look it should take them to flower. This species looks like seedlings even if the plants are adults...Rikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16260657278983088064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3791556186150948306.post-23379446337201265452013-07-05T09:01:55.778+02:002013-07-05T09:01:55.778+02:00No, thank YOU for reading ;)

They are just too pale, pale plants, pale stones, hmm.<br />Might be L. ruschiorum. I don't have those but from the pictures online they are of quite a round shape. But there must have been something more weird looking in there, mustn't it? Like a conophytum or an other spheroid. Conophytums have a very different growing cycle though...<br />So far they are rather low-maintenance, which means full sun as it comes and watering when I see they're thirsty. Regeneration goes smoothly, too.<br />Rikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16260657278983088064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3791556186150948306.post-83863423661843760222013-07-04T23:08:30.615+02:002013-07-04T23:08:30.615+02:00They really have turned bigger!! wow.

Such happy plants!<br />The ones in the 2nd picture really look like pseudotrucantella.Soniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15694985749512997750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3791556186150948306.post-73342190370960143572013-07-04T08:05:13.702+02:002013-07-04T08:05:13.702+02:00Yes, weird plant. As you mentioned several of you...Yes, weird plant. As you mentioned several of your plants show the resemblance to L. pseudotruncatella, supporting Steven Hammer's view that this is a hybrid between L. pseudotruncatella and something else. The mystery is, what's the something else. The other view is that it's a hybrid with L. ruschiorum. L. steineckeana is another lithops I've never grown and thus enjoy the commentary and photos of your experiences with this interesting plant. As always thank you. :) Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13557615556014224724noreply@blogger.com
