Lithops Collection Species and ID - An Introduction to these Amazing Succulents 

One more coming up very soon, a long talk with James Lucus about everything Lithops.....

And indeed birds to like to peck at them.....

Why did you keep them outside and not on a windowsill? And why did the magpie dislike them? What did it do? 🙂

@@oneoflokis it’s in Australia and our young magpies, the ones that have been thoroughly humanised, are both playful, inquisitive and given to weird behaviour. I have a small open air, but glass roofed collection of succulents and every time I replanted the lithops, they would be pulled back out and chucked on the ground. Went on for months, I lost heart and so did the lithops, everything else was untouched.

@@rossmcleod7983 Poor lithops! Maybe the 'pies didn't like the colour?

A lot of influence in this video from Japan especially the the late Mr Shimada. Visited Kanagawa a few years ago. Are you a collector of succulents. ?

@@johnnyAGardening I've been. Collecting Haworthia and Succulents.. mostly of my collection I acquired from Succulent Connection and from Mr. Tony Sato of Gran Cactus farm.. you have a helpful vedio always thank you for updating us on your great collection ❤️❤️🤝🤝

@@kanagawahobbiestv4326 So Tony Sato of Sato's Violet fame, I really want to visit his nursery, such an interesting grower and he seems very knowledgable.

You are correct we left the Dinter off bymistake,

OK. It depends what you mean by looking unhappy, so without full description or a picture here are a few possibilities. Most problems are from overwatering OR under watering. If thats not it then could these be problems. However once glass becomes involved heat can be an issue, so glass door and glass container could amplify heat. 1 In glass, if the the sun is direct, heat can be too hot. 2..In the glass container, if it is high sided, could the humidity be too high. Let us know if none of this sounds right. Possibly a simple solution would be to transfer them to a ceramic container and renew the potting mix making sure its free draining.

Sorry, Succulents Australia does not sell seeds at present. Maybe in a few years time....
