Repotting LITHOPS SEEDLINGS for the first time (Grown from SEED) 

That sounds great especially if you have a few larger Lithops arranged in one pot... especially if they are bigger than Seedlings, that makes it seem a lot easier. With little fiddly ones I just poke them in the substrate cos they are so small 😁 Thanks for the tip... Thank you for watching and for you great comment. 👌 👍🌵☀️🌵☀️

Thank you very much... they were fiddly but at least they had no spines, for a change! 😆 Thank you for your great comment and for watching my video 😁👍🌄🌞😎🌞😎🌞😎

Thank you, the seeds germinate extremely fast and at a lower temperature than most cactus seed. Lithops are a challenge at times🙆‍♀️ Thank you for watching and for your comment😁👍🌵😎

Thank you 😁🤗 they are still small but getting there now, they're in the window now so getting natural light for a while🌵🌞🌄 Thanks for watching and for your lovely comment👍

@@CactusCove I'm glad to hear that 😊. Have a wonderful week.🤗💚🌵

@@cactusandfriends_by_vane Thank you, you too 😎

Thanks for watching, these particular Lithops are currently doing well, they seemed to survive that repotting and were fiddly but at least not prickly 😆 I keep them on my window sill indoors (without grow lights) I shall do an update on them soon. 👍😉🌵

Thank you so much, I am glad you enjoyed this video. Thank you for watching and for your great comment! 👍😁🌵

@@CactusCove you're welcome!

Usually if you grow Lithops from seed, it's good to wait about a year before potting young Lithops into new pots. You can give a very tiny amount of water after repotting (only a little spoonful) this will just only help to settle the Lithops and encourage new roots, but you do not have to give any water. If you choose not to give water after repotting, then just wait a while until the weather is dry and clear and less humidity, then you can water as usual. Depending on your climate or location in the world, you need to adapt the watering times. Thank you for watching and for your lovely comment 😊🌵

@@CactusCove thank you

I use a bird grit which contains crushed oyster and sea shells with added fine grits. I use one from the pet bird section from pet stores (in the UK I get it from Pets at Home). I also get the equivalent bird grit from WILKO aswell which is a little cheaper and comes in little bags if about 1kg. Thank you for watching 👍🏻🌵😊☀️

@@CactusCove Thanks for explaining it. Interestingly, the Wilko one caught my eye whilst browsing. I have a feeling that a trip there will be imminent. I am new to growing Lithops, so all these videos are immensely helpful. Thanks again 🙏🏻

@@gaborsimic8359 Thank you so much for watching 👍🏻😊 Don't forget to check out the cactus and plants they have in WILKO... I picked up some fantastic plants over the last few weeks, and again today 🌵😆🌵

Thank you for watching... substrate can be a highly talked about subject, its really your preference when it comes down to what you use, and based on your location in the world - you will have to use a substrate that meets your climate too, but overall, Lophophora are not too fussy as long as its very free draining, as they have large tuberous tap Roots as they mature, that are very rot prone 🙂

My Lithops are doing well, and I think size of substrate is one of those subject matters that growers will have divided opinions on, just like what type of substrates to use. Where you are in the world dictates what, or how much, or less of, a substrate you use, or would not use at all. So, I like to use a very well draining mix for Lithops (most components don't exceed 10mm in size as I don't buy substrates above this grade size (except my bark chips and vermiculite, which are more recent changes to my potting Mixes 😆) but to be honest if I was transplanting them now, It would not worry me to add these 2 additions to the substrate for potting on young Lithops at the 1 year old stage. Due to the climate here in the UK, and I think, and this is purely my personal opinion, so do not be offended... Lithops don't really care about the size of substrate as long as it dries out after about 2 or 3 days to avoid ROT issues, and my Iithops are growing well with no issues, still in the same pot as shown in this video, and are in another shedding phase. So whether my Lithops are 1 year old seedlings, or older, they get the same substrate. Only if I'm growing them from seed upto 1 year, is the only time I use a finer grade substrate, and then as shown in this video, they are subsequently moved up into my regular substrate. I did another more recent update video on these Iithops too when they reached the age of about 1.5 years old and they transitioned well from transplanting. Hope this has been of help. Thanks so much for watching 👍🏻😊🌵

I personally love it, and this is how we keep our living bums.... Living 😘
