Thank you for executing an experiment I have considered but never executed. Results surprised me. I expected you would have rot with the entire lithop in water for 15 hours. Much GRATITUDE :)
@@petitplants The newbie to lithops seems to have the most trouble with lithops that have been root pruned heavily. The leaves rot before any roots grow. And this is with a loose, coarse grain and well draining potting mix. Have you done a newbie video? Thanks :)
That's correct. Heavily trimming the roots makes it difficult for new roots to grow. I recommend planting without trimming the roots as much as possible. Especially for Lithops, I do not recommend cutting for propagation. 🌱 A good way to encourage new root growth is to use a small pot with fine-grain soil, as it retains moisture for a longer period. Without moisture, new roots won't grow. However, if moisture is retained for too long, mold can develop in the soil. Healthier and larger Lithops specimens are more likely to develop new roots even if the roots are cut. 😊 I will also consider creating a video for newbies. 📹 Please also refer to this link: RU-vid link. The principles for propagating Conophytum and Lithops are the same. The method for rooting after short cutting is also similar to propagation.
Thank you for your question! I will definitely try this experiment with lithops that have no roots. It will take about two months to complete the experiment and edit the video. I appreciate your patience and look forward to sharing the results with you. Stay tuned!
I also tried water therapy once (after I read a post on Reddit). My lithops in soil was not able to suck up the water even after watering (I don't know why). So I put just the roots in water using an elastic band....and it worked great for me... Just after one night the lithops was plump again😊. Saved and it's still with me today 🎉
Thank you for sharing your experience! It's great to hear that water therapy worked well for your lithops. Sometimes, when lithops struggle to absorb water from the soil, placing the roots in water can be an effective solution. I've also found that this method can quickly rehydrate lithops, especially if they are severely dehydrated. However, it's important to be cautious and not to leave them in water for too long, as prolonged exposure can lead to root rot. It's wonderful to know that your lithops recovered and is still thriving. If you have any other tips or experiences to share, please feel free to do so. Happy growing
Здравствуйте, сколько у вас их много,вы монипулируйте ими не смотря на смену листьев,даёте им 100% влагу.я такое проделала с литопсами без корней, пока живые.спасибо за видео, буду благодарна за обратную связь 😊
보통 단수하며 키우면 뿌리가 바싹 마르는데 마른 입술에 침 바르면 더 바싹 마르는 것 처럼 c그룹이 그런 상태가 아닐까 하고 혼자 생각만 해봐요 애매한 물이라 판단해서 오히려 더 방어적인 상태?🤔 결국은 뿌리 끝만 젖은건데(언제라도 금방 마를수 있는 상황) 이때 뿌리 냈다가 물 말라버리면 타격이 클테니...
Добрый день, у меня есть вопрос. Мой литопс уже довольно старый, растение около 15 лет, в этом году был очень неправильный режим зимы и растение погибает. Корневище очень толстое, я не знаю как правильно обрезать короче. Посоветуйте, как лучше спасти - мокрый или сухой способ? Это растение очень дорогое для меня😊
Для начала, мне нужно понять, в каком состоянии находится ваш литопс. Без этого сложно дать точный совет. В нынешней ситуации, чтобы спасти растение, используйте стерилизованные ножницы или нож для обрезки здоровых частей и удаления поврежденных. После обрезки оставьте растение на 3-7 дней в хорошо проветриваемом месте в тени, чтобы раны подсохли. Затем пересадите литопс в свежую сухую почву. Поливайте растение обильно и повторяйте полив после полного высыхания почвы, пока не появятся новые корни. Надеюсь, что ваш литопс восстановится. Для более точной помощи, пожалуйста, пришлите фотографии состояния растения на электронную почту littlecloudtv@gmail.com. Держитесь!
Merhaba! Sorunuz için teşekkür ederim. Buruşmuş anne yaprakları bitki üzerinde iken sulama konusunda bazı durumlarda sulama yapmak gerekebilir. Bu, bitkinin genel sağlık durumu ve ortam koşullarına bağlıdır. Eğer bitki susuz kalırsa daha büyük sorunlara yol açabilir. Ancak, genel olarak, anne yapraklar hala bitki üzerinde iken sulama yapmamak en iyisidir çünkü bu, çürüme riskini artırabilir. Benim yaptığım sulama, bitkinin durumuna göre dikkatlice yapılmıştır ve aşırı sulamaktan kaçınılmıştır. Bu konuda daha fazla sorunuz varsa lütfen çekinmeden sorun. İlginiz için teşekkür ederim!
