klip247 Posted February 4, 2011 I was looking around at the different lithop varieties out there and came across this picture.. there was no description or name to identify exactly which variety this is, any idea? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 bℓσωηG Posted February 4, 2011 doesnt look like a Lithop to me, http://www.lithops.info/en/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 klip247 Posted February 4, 2011 (edited) It was on a lithop website, although it could have erroneously been uploaded on that page, that is possible. At the same time you can get some lithops that look somewhat different than the regular type for instance Lithops divergens var. amethystina although this is easily identified as a lithop.

0 klip247 Posted February 8, 2011 yeah they are great, ive gotten myself some seeds which ill be saving for some winter cacti/succulent growing, are you starting from seed incognito? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 random Posted February 8, 2011 (edited) The pics won't load properly on my mobile so not sure what first pic looks like, but have seen some pink lithops online before. <3 I absolutely adore these little plants. How easily do they grow from seed? And anyone know a good place to get them from in Australia? What I love even more than the look is the feel of them... Like little pets I could just stroke them all day... Edited February 8, 2011 by meeka Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 smidirin Posted February 9, 2011 How easily do they grow from seed? And anyone know a good place to get them from in Australia? right here : http://www.ozlithops.com/ also plants @ markets on central coast and i'm sure others. they are cool and popular, not so easy sometimes but worth it.

0 random Posted February 9, 2011 I will indeed. funny thing is, I forgot all about lithops until about a month ago. And to think i've been without their smoothy goodness all these years. Can't wait to get some again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 karode13 Posted February 9, 2011 Looks very similar to Faucaria sp Springbokvlakte I agree. Lithops rock! My favourite succulents and they're very easy to grow from seed. Lithops optica 'Rubra' are the pink ones that Meeka are referring to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 tripsis Posted February 9, 2011 (edited) Frithia species are pretty damned cool too. Edited February 9, 2011 by tripsis Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 random Posted February 9, 2011 :-o look at that carpet of them in flower!! And the flowers are just beautiful. Love the way they are all poking out like that. Ahh funny how a little plant can evoke so much emotion. I wanties! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 random Posted February 9, 2011 Oh and thanks karode13, i'll be on the look out for that pink one too now I know its name! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 tripsis Posted February 9, 2011 I could get you some if you like meeka. They flower for ages! A single flower lasts a long time, closing up at night and opening again during the day. I think they were around $10 or $15 for a little plant where I've found them being sold. Both Frithia humilis and F. pulchra. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 random Posted February 9, 2011 ooh ooh next month i'll pm you if you're able to get some then, cool thanks! think i'm in lithops love Love you too, corroboree plant forum *grins* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 tripsis Posted February 9, 2011 No worries, let me know when you're ready and I'll see if it coincides with me going out there. It's around an hour or so from where I live. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 mutant Posted February 9, 2011 (edited) Impressive plant! Lithops are not really as hard as claimed to grow. They just have their own set of instructions. Even better, screw instructions, water only, and this sparingly, in late spring and during summer. Cease all watering on automn. Clay pots are even safer I read somewhere a plant need less than 300ml of water annually PS: Yeah Frithia rules, thanks for letting me know, I got 2 of this one and it is very handsome. someone told me it needs the same handling as lithops Edited February 9, 2011 by mutant Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 tripsis Posted February 9, 2011 Not much experience with Frithia, only got my first ones recently, but apparently they're a little easier to care for than Lithops. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 random Posted February 9, 2011 Thanks for the tips mutant, lithops must like the climate in Greece? Do you have any pics of your succulents? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 mutant Posted February 11, 2011 I got a lot of common lithops I took the chance and created a new thread showing some of my succulents. Here are some of my lithops and frithia: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
