Lithops Advice & ID, please?

7 years ago

I got this in the mail today.




It was supposed to look like this (picture of same plant for sale).



I initially wanted to complain that I got a bad plant, but I knew it was the time for splitting & figured there was a chance the plant inside was ok. So I washed off the roots to prep for potting in gritty mix. Most of the fine feeder roots ended up breaking off : (



I cut a little bit (5mm) of the sides to check if the new leaf body was ok, and it looks/feels firm & unmarked (except for a little water line) by whatever happened to the outside.



How can I encourage new roots to grow?

Can anyone help with ID?

Hookerii? Shwantesii? or Karasmontana?


thanks!
