Apropos of nothing, a little update on this pot of living pebbles that seemed popular 6-8 weeks ago. Things are moving along!
#1: Just bigger (x3).
#2: Has absorbed last year's leaves, and I got twins! they should get more symmetrical.
#3: Little monster has doubled in size, added leaves. Will probably get him his own pot and add another lithops.
#4: Pink ones are happier, and are opening up to show new baby leaves. Others bigger, maybe will split?
Here's the little, um, pebble garden I made of lithops, a sort of stone-like plant. With one little monster in the middle. (And a bunch of actual stones.)
If it weren't for the kittens racing around my room every night, I'd be filling my window sill with crazy shapes and colors!!!
I got this pretty and inexpensive but probably overwatered lithops today and repotted it into dry, inorganic soil with lots of perlite, pumice, and sand in the mix. The white stones on top are just for decoration. I am not going to water it at all until the outer leaves dry up. So probably a few months. Also, when I say inexpensive, I mean $5 which seems really affordable for a lithops this big.
Et les lithops sont plantés !
J'ai rajouté une couche de pierre ponce de récupe à la surface, parce que les plantes-cailloux ça aime bien pousser parmi les cailloux.
Arrosage pas avant deux semaines.
Ya deux lithops qui m'inquiètent un peu, un qui est tout sec et un qui est tout mou ; on verra bien. Pas sûr qu'iels survivent toustes. Mais la plupart ont l'air très en forme !
En bas à gauche de la photo on en voit qui ont encore un reste de fleur séchée, iels ont fleuri il n'y a pas longtemps. Pas mal d'entre eux sont en train de faire leurs nouvelles feuilles, on les voit apparaître au milieu : les anciennes feuilles vont progressivement sécher et laisser place aux nouvelles.
Et moi je suis tout-e :blob_cat_eyes_owo: #lithops#PlantageEnTranches#succulents
Les lithops aujourd'hui, juste avant arrosage. Yen a deux qui sont morts (les deux qui étaient mal en point) mais le reste a bien avancé ses nouvelles feuilles 🥰 #succulents#lithops
Tiens, ça fait un bout de temps que j'ai pas donné de nouvelles des #lithops. Iels vont bien, toutes les nouvelles feuilles sont sorties, les anciennes presque finies de sécher.
