But in winter there's not much to write about anyway unlike now when new life starts all around. <br /><br />I don't know why the Delosperma is flowering. There's even a new flower growing on another branch. I'm going to assume it just feels the love ♡<br /><br />Have a nice weekend :)Rikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16260657278983088064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3791556186150948306.post-80657470559680463092015-03-05T07:13:59.191+01:002015-03-05T07:13:59.191+01:00Hi Rika and welcome back.

Nice to see your Lithops are coming through the winter well and bringing forth their shiny new leaves. The blemishes of the past year, if there were any, are completely erased as the leaves are made new again. Such wonderful little plants. Also glad to see your Avonia looking so nice. I still have my Avonia flower wallpaper. You even have a flowering Delosperma. All mine are frozen solid and covered with ice and snow. The flower tells us spring is not far away. <br /><br /> Again, very nice to see your plants again, and look I forward to hearing more about them as spring approaches. Best wishes to you.

Now is the ...Hi :) Thank you for the warm welcome!<br /><br />Now is the perfect time to repot your lithops. Their roots are completely inactive (if you were keeping them dry over the last few months) and they won't even notice it ;) The trick is to transplant them from (obviously) dry substrate into dry substrate. This way they will not realise anything has changed and will just start growing actively (using their roots rather than old leaves) once they've regenerated and you started watering. In case you find bugs on the roots while repotting you'll have to wash the roots. After that the roots should dry in the air and only then you can put them into dry substrate. No trauma to be expected this time of the year :)Rikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16260657278983088064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3791556186150948306.post-49208858010420796262015-03-02T17:20:42.195+01:002015-03-02T17:20:42.195+01:00Yay you're back!

I love love seeing your lithops, glad they're doing well at the new place!<br />If I may use this opportunity to ask a question - I've managed to gather quite a few lithops since I started last year, and now that spring is coming again I have a few more coming in. I was thinking of taking this opportunity to repot my current ones as well and organise all of them in fewer pots... but we've had a pretty grey blah winter and many of them are not done regenerating yet (some haven't even started?!) Is it a better idea to pot up the new ones now, then integrate the whole collection together a month or two down the road when everyone's done? Or is that just going to double the trauma. Thanks in advance. andreachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03184705342628392833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3791556186150948306.post-85263423962439514192015-03-02T12:14:14.388+01:002015-03-02T12:14:14.388+01:00This comment has been removed by the author.andreachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03184705342628392833noreply@blogger.com
