Hi Zech,

Perhaps if you try a search for 'Growing Lithops from Seeds' you'll find a number of these answers for yourself.

I don't expect you'll find a lot of folks here who've tried this. Lithops seems tricky enough for many folks from plants, I'd be surprised to see folks trying much of these from seed.

Ok lets see..

1. Yes - one of the best methods
2. Various answers - from germination to a month (I do not go for longer than 2 weeks)
3. Nope - just not in sun
4. 4 days to 7 days (most) with some latecomers up to 6 months - there are some variations as always
5. I have used various mixes - they all seem to work fairly well, just not too porous as the seeds may go too deep - they are pretty small (dust like)

Here is a pic of my current crop - I think 2 months old - more or less

I did do a search but nothing answered my questions ... very cute beach plants! Can the all stay in the same pot like that?

Yes, until they are true leaved little lithops it is advisable to leave them in - Lithops (it is said) is better transplanted after 1 year. I have transplanted earlier, but it depends on the soil, which I was not happy with at that stage. These will stay as is until they have true leaves.

Here is a time period pics of Lithops aucampiae - first few months

Same group a little further developed true leaves appearing

Same plants, transplanted 3 per pot in my case

Aww they are so cute as little plants like that! I wish they stayed the same size forever
