Hi everyone!=) I used to be on this forum, but I forgot my username and the email I signed up with, so I made a new account!=P
So my situation now... I grow peppers, lavender, sundews, african violets, and aloe in my room. I have no experience in growing lithops, but I will be getting some seeds soon...=P But I have a big big problem. I'm a kid still living with my parents, and thus have to live by their rules. I can't go out and buy sand, grit, pumice, vermiculite, or any other soils and stones... Also, I can't take anything from the garden and bake/microwave it, and there are a lot of insects in the sandy parts there which I do not want(nor would my parents want) hatching in my room!=0
So basically I cannot follow all the mixes people have come up with, and only have these things to work with:
-perlite
-potting soil
-peat
-largish unpolished pebbles (was thinking these my be a good surface cover when they get large enough, but how old is large enough to put pebbles as surface covering?)
Now I know many would frown upon this, but it really is all I have to work with, so what is the best way to germinate and grow lithops with only these materials?=(
So far, my peppers, aloe, and lavender are growing fine in potting soil/perlite mix, and my sundews and african violets are growing in peat/perlite mix.
Thanks a lot!=) I really hope I can get help on this!=D
