I’m beyond excited! My Lithops exceeded expectations! Eight pots for $32 from a grower via Amazon. Advertised as gigantic and I didn’t know what to expect. BUT THEY ARE!! I expected 8 plants but you can see there are 22. That big boy at the bottom of the photo is 2”. I’m giddy!! Comments welcome if you see something askew or have tips.

Nice! If they were mine I’d re-pot them into terracotta pots with a gritty lithop soil plus no water and lots of light.
My photo isnt showing up. Sorry.
1) not sure that’s 22 plants — when you get twins from a split, they’re still one plant, sharing roots, etc. I think you have several plants like that.
2) it is fun to have big plants! I have a couple myself. just be aware that (a) they might have been speed-grown to get to this size, and if so, you may find that the new plants you get after the first split are a bit smaller, as they recover from forced growth. if they do stay the same size, be sure they get plenty of air flow when splitting, as it’s that much more leaf to reabsorb!
great fun, enjoy!
Do you folks think I should separate all of them when repotting and space them out or keep them in their groups and just repot? I’m a little scared to split them up and damage them.
What buyer did you use. Do you have a link?
