I'll keep that in mind when I sow them again.<br />Unfortunately I have problems with grown-up julii as well.Rikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16260657278983088064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3791556186150948306.post-91702735435310553422012-04-03T17:37:23.354+02:002012-04-03T17:37:23.354+02:00I found jullii to be pretty hard to grow too.

Then they start to push their first real leaves in about four mounth and go to their first winter being more stronger.Eugenenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3791556186150948306.post-68667518509512746582012-04-03T09:40:18.324+02:002012-04-03T09:40:18.324+02:00So true, Heather.

With grown-up lithops you know they won't change in winter, but seedlings can take a break anytime in the year and have a growth spurt months later when you've almost given up on them. :)<br /><br />Thanks, julii are very beautiful but I grow only several plants. They don't like me very much, it seems.Rikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16260657278983088064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3791556186150948306.post-9580911373866308152012-04-02T17:50:05.306+02:002012-04-02T17:50:05.306+02:00I'm always amazing at how lithops seedlings ca...I'm always amazing at how lithops seedlings can stay tiny and small for so long, and then suddenly feel in the mood for growing. <br /><br />I love this variety of julii - hadn't heard of it until I saw your blog. You seem to find the most amazing varieties of lithops!Heather (Fuss)https://www.blogger.com/profile/16701155205715839678noreply@blogger.com
