Hello! First time poster here- I just purchased a clump of a few lithops, whose roots were all attached, I carefully detached them by rinsing away the soil and repotted them further apart in this glass container. I also drilled a drainage hole at the bottom, and I used the brand Rosy’s cactus & succulent potting mix combined with some extra perlite for maximum drainage. I heard that lithops like more of a deep container, so I was wondering whether this container is too shallow? Or if it will be okay for the time being. TIA!

Sorry but yes too shallow and they really should be planted almost flush to the surface Like this

That mix looks like it way too organic for lithops. It might hold too much moisture for too long. You might want to get a different soil that won’t hold as much moisture.
I use the sol soil cactus gritty mix and it has wood chips in it to hold some moisture but it dries out relatively quick.
