I don't get worried there, it's quite normal. In fact the more they regenerate the bigger they get.<br /><br />Also true that we only can discuss the "too late" problem but we're not getting closer to a solution. With my too-late hallii I've waited untill the old leaves were so far digested to be removed. It seems to have worked out (for now). The julii are still unchanged. I think i'll try to transplant them (no water). Maybe it'll trigger something...

I always thought it might be part of the plant's maturation process, which is determined by hormones, the production of which can vary as the plant gets older, and bigger. I rarely see this on my plants that are older than seven years. <br /><br />As to the "too-late" problem, I see this all too frequently, especially with certain species. Unfortunately, I haven't done a very good job on record keeping concerning this and thus can't speak with certainly. This year L. hookeri has been very bad, and L. dorotheae slow but not stopped. While L. bromfieldii except for my weird 'Sulphurea', L. lesliei, and L. karasmontana have not had problems. So, is this genetically controlled, environmentally controlled, culturally controlled, or a combination of several or all. Maybe something all lithops growers just have to live with, since everyone growing a modest amount of plants or more, seem to experience the problem.<br />How's that for writing a lot and solving nothing? :)Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13557615556014224724noreply@blogger.com
