I seeded lithops on the 27th of March and I can finally see the sprouts from the seeds! Today is the 14th of April so it took two and a half weeks to grow this much.
I seeded around 11 lithop seeds and only two has sprouted. Anyway I’m so excited because I didn’t expect the seeds to grow but it did!
I’ve fallen for succulent plants especially Lithop, Gibbaeum, Lapidaria margaretae and Conophytum which have unique shapes. They looks so gorgeous. I wanted to buy fully grown Lithops (living stone Plant) online but I couldn’t find a good one. So I bought a Lithop kit for £13.50 from Ohh Deer.
A lot of people say Lithop is an unkillable plant. Lithops can store water for months so it doesn’t need regular watering and much care. I just need to water them only when the soil is thoroughly dry.
The kit contains
-1 x Packet of living stone seeds.
-Instructions and tips included.
-Starter growing pots.
-Natural coconut husk compost discs.
-Wooden plant markers.
It’s just a short introduction. It doesn’t explain how to use the compost discs so I just poured water on the discs and mixed it with a wooden stick.
Apparently, the correct way to use the compost disc is to put it in luke-warm water and let it soak but I think it’s all the same. Add some water and wait until it’s fully expanded.
These are Lithop seeds. When I opened the packet, I thought it was empty but realised that the dust looking particles are the seeds.
There are around 11 seeds.
I carefully put the seeds on the soaked soil. I’m not even sure whether I put the seeds in properly or not. It’s too small to check.
I covered the pots like in the picture. They will germinate in around two to 12 weeks.
It’s time to wait (again) !
