(CC) If you live in a humid climate, you may find that the old leaves on your Lithops refuse to throughly dry. Here are some tips on what you can do to help remove them so water doesn't get trapped between the old growth and the new plants (which would potentially cause them to rot.)
I also operate on two sad Lithops to see if there's any new growth inside that can be saved! For more information, watch 'Lithops 101' here: • Lithops 101 - What you...

Nail scissors work reaaly good, they are also curved, which helps a lot.

Wow at the care you give your lithops. And you just helped a baby lithop be born! I love lithops but the feeling is not mutual. 🤨 That Edithcolea is HUGE! The flies are in heaven. 😂

@@SucsForYou I am still living and learning with lithops, Andrea. It's a learning curve for sure but I would *never* have started with them if it hadn't been for you and your amazing advice!

You're very brave Andrea. I would trim off some of the dead leaf, then plant in a much bigger pot but leaving the plant higher in the soil. When watering, I would soak only halfway up. Next years old leaves should push these right out.

I use a cuticle trimmer to get the old leaves off. A little easier than the scissors

Hi, I came across your channel 😻I have a question what type of soil do you use for the lithops. I am planning on buying but I have no idea what soil to use I do have fox farm soil.
@SucsForYou
@SucsForYou Год назад
I use so little soil it doesn't really matter - like 90% drainage materials to whatever mix I currently have in my bin. Fox Farm should be fine!

It seems that you did not add any soil when you repotted the plant. Is the little root ball enough to sustain it?

It’s really similar to summer where I live, and my lithops are probably dormant but they still have all of their old leaves attached from when I received them. Should I still do it? (It’s quite humid here, 50% if I’m not mistaken)

If they're dry, then it wouldn't hurt to trim them before you water again.

Why don't you water from the bottom? Or use a lab wash bottle? It would be less traumatic for the plant.
