Position your Lithops somewhere very bright with at least four hours of sun, making them perfect for an east or south-facing window.
Watering is unique to Lithops, and there are a few things to remember:
- Water from late spring into summer.
- When the plant goes dormant in the summer, stop watering. If the plant shrivels, give just enough water to restore the firm appearance of the plant, but only water until about the top one-half inch of the soil is moistened.
- Resume watering in late summer-early fall, when the plants resume growth and bloom. The first sign of growth is when the fissure between the leaves begins to separate in preparation for flowering.
- Lithops should be left completely dry throughout winter and spring. Stop watering to allow the old leaf pair to dry out and the new pair develop. By early spring the new body should be visible. Watering can be resumed once the remains of the old body are completely shrivelled and dry. If water is given too soon, the old “leaves” will try to continue to grow and the plant will not develop properly. Remember, the old leaves should dry up as the new leaves are growing!
