SUCCESSFUL LITHOPS GERMINATION GUIDE
Watering
When the seeds have germinated, remove the bag/cover and keep them lightly moist for the next 3-4 months. It’s best to bottom water, but spraying can work if you’re careful. The seedlings are tiny and can flip over or bury themselves in the soil.
They start to grow their first true leaves 3-5 months after germination. At this point they need to be kept on the dry side. They still need more water than adult Lithops, though. Water once a month (in warm climates probably every 2 weeks) when they start to look dehydrated and wrinkly, even when they’re splitting and growing their second and third leaf set.
~2 years after germination, they should be able to handle being treated like adult Lithops. I water mine twice in spring (March to May) and twice in fall (October to November). Of course unless they decide to split in spring or early fall, then don’t water until the outer leaves have dried out.
Lighting
Lithops seedlings are prone to stretching if they don’t get enough light. Its hard to say exactly how much sun they need because obviously they can handle more hours of direct light in temperate climates, than they can in warmer climates. Try it in an east facing window with morning sun, but under a thin cloth for protection. Generally, if they start to stretch, they need more light and if they turn pink or white, they need less.
The safest option is a grow light.
When they have grown their first true leaf set, they can handle more light, but prefer protection from strong midday sun. 4-6 hours of direct sunlight is optimal to avoid etiolation.
