Lithops is a genus of succulent plants from the Aisov family.
Like all succulents, lithops is afraid of unnecessary watering, from which it can die. It should be watered very moderately to prevent rotting of the roots. It is best to use the lower watering, and make sure that water does not get into the gap between the leaves. When the lithops is in the rest period, it should not be watered at all.

Very interesting plant.

@dianasanchez6356 4 года назад

Extremely helpful! I think it's the only video I've seen with wrinkled lithops to indicate water is needed... I need to go water my lithops now! Thank you for the help!

@bhumphries1360 2 года назад

Wrinkling can also be indicative of over-watering. You need to also pay attention to what stage of growth that your plant is doing this in.

Thanks for the quick info, so many others go on about their lives or collection for hours.

Thank you for this video on watering. It is very helpful to see exactly when one should water.

@HHH92104 Год назад

When it’s watering season for lithops I only wait until they’re wrinkly and then give them a light mist. It seems to work the best. I fertilize once a year due to me having beaded fertilizer and calcium carbonate powder in the substrate. I watched your video on how to water as seeds, but these damp off so quick. It’s very hard so far, but I will keep trying. Thank you for helping, even if this video is very very old.

@brunosco 3 года назад

If I understood well, not only you need to wait till the old leaves are fully dry, but also make sure the new ones are not firm anymore. When they become slightly soft to the touch, it means they are completely full of water anymore and that they start being thirsty. I watered mine for the very first time after three months (we’re in the first half of summer). The old leaves fully dried out, then I checked daily and waited another small week till new leaves lost some firmness. In about a month, I’ll do the same - water it only when it feels thirsty.

@nemesis8626 8 месяцев назад

Mid to late summer they don't need water either, they go dormant during these periods and should only really be watered during mid to late spring or possibly early autumn, winter and mid summer/late summer don't water at all

@ninalesi24 5 лет назад

Very helpful video. I have killed so many!! Do you have a video on how to harvest seeds or how to reproduce from seed? I think some of mine are growing seeds! Yay

@imbsysop 5 лет назад

FYI ... Lithops should be watered in late summer and Autumn as it is their major growth and flowering time. They should be very sparingly "humidified in Summer as they are dormant under the heat. Far too many misconceptions on the internet about the annual growing cycle of Lithops. Some good literature research may solve that.

@billastell3753 5 лет назад

It would help if you would suggest some sources of good literature.

I live in Sedona, Arizona, USA..here, my lythops are on a bit of a different schedule..mine bloom, send out a flower, in winter (January usually). They grow their new leaves anytime up until about June so no watering from January to June sometimes. They shed their old leaves (usually they surprise me with a baby! So I end up with double the lythops I had!) and I wait about a week to water the new plants. So I deep water after the new leaves are out in June then I watch for wrinkles and if they appear before January, I lightly water. Mine have been alive and with me for almost 7 years! We have no humidity here..hope I helped!!❤

@nemesis8626 8 месяцев назад

Nope mid/late summer lithops are completely dormant, they grow during spring and autumn

Hello. Could you please explain how I should water (take care of) the lithops? I come from another country. But I like to know how to take care of these succulents. I can't understand it in the video just in the comments I understand.

@ojalajodi 5 лет назад

Very helpful. I am curious what to do, When leaves are almost gone but now new leaves are coming up the middle. Can you water when old leaves dry out and the new leaf is surfacing?

@brunosco 3 года назад

No! As long as the old leaves have not completely dried out, the new leaves are feeding on them and the roots are inactive (and would rot if watered). I just watered mine for the first time about one week (!) after the old leaves completely dried out. I waited till the new leaves started to become slightly soft when pressed (sign that they are now thirsty and not full of water anymore). I’m actually a beginner and have my lithops for 3 months only, but it seems super healthy so far and I’m confident I understood its needs correctly.

@gbear8207 3 года назад

What about if they are being grown indoors? They don't really experience the seasons.

@nemesis8626 8 месяцев назад

Of course they still experience the seasons, the seasons are signalled by the heat and sunlight hours

My Lithops came from the mail in a bag and the roots were dry, will they survive?

Yes, that’s a good thing! Then they survive if you water them *only* in the very rare occasions when they are thirsty. Did you manage? (I see it’s been a year.)

@@imbsysopthanks I do have a rain barrel now. And I have always wondered why so many people say don't wet the foliage but they get showers all of the time in nature! Maybe it has something to do with the water getting anerobic after sitting stagnent for so long.

@imbsysop 5 лет назад

@@therootandvein That don't wet the leaves is a myth by people who never investigated on habitat conditions. Lithops come from very arid regions but have very high levels of dew! .. some even nearly live only by fog and dew, especially the optica and optica rubra species. Their annual "precipitation is something like 17 mm per square meter per year. go figure how "much" water that is ! :-)

Your thumbnail pic is a not a Lithop. Why include it in this video exclusively about Lithops? It may be a young Pleiospiilos Nelii, also known as a "Split Rock", but I cannot positively ID from the one photo. I can positively say however that it is not a Lithop. You are not the only person on youtube to do this.
