But it looks like your plants still need another round of watering depending on when you last watered, what technique you used, and the growing environment (light, temp, humidity, air circulation).
A well-hydrated plant during flowering will help the flowers hang around a few days longer.

Can you give us more info about your substrate location/temp/humidity, when you last watered, etc?
Lithops can’t absorb water when temperatures are above about 70° and are dormant during warm summer months, so if you water when they aren’t absorbing water, they just sit against wet substrate.
I find this graphic useful. I just gave my sad wrinkly one a drink after repotting because I *think* temps in the plant room will drop below 70° overnight, but it’s a gamble.
ETA – it looks like that photo has been compressed into oblivion, so let me know if you can’t read it.
