My first attempt at an arrangement with lithops. Lay it on me


I like the way the arrangement looks, but I’m concerned that the substrate doesn’t have enough grit. I’ve ordered some lava rocks that I’ll either add to my succulent potting mix or just put them straight into the rocks.

Also, some of them look stacked/etiolated, but I’m not sure. Still a total novice when it comes to lithops.

    Almost always turns out a fail when you mix different types. They have various watering needs. They rarely are all thirsty at the same time. It’s very challenging to water only a thirsty one when they’re planted like this. Good luck!

    They do need some dirt so don’t plant them in all stones. They want very gritty mix, but if there is no soil then they can’t catch it as it drains by. Also, I have lots of them in the same container that are in all different stages. You can water with a pipette or a squeeze bottle with a pointed end, and it’s fine. These are in a rather small container to allow this, but even in my large container, I have some close to each other that are in different stages and I’m just careful not to water so much that it would be available to the ones who should not have it.
