Lithops are native to dry parts of Southern Africa where they experience some summer rains and heat but dry winters. Here in the UK they are best grown in sunny window sills with watering once a week during mid summer with watering stopping completely from October through to May Seed

Germination Guide 

Prepare a seed tray or individual pots with a moist, sandy, free-draining compost.

Gently firm down and level the surface. Scatter the Lithops seeds over the surface. Tamp the seeds into the compost mix but do not cover

Cover the tray with a plastic cover or bag with air holes open to allow some air circulationKeep at 20c -  heat mat is ideal. Keep out of direct sunlight

Mist the compost with water as required to ensure it does not dry out. 

Seedlings will develop within a few weeks. Remove the plastic bag and water when the compost becomes dry, but spray the surface with water regularly, to keep it moist.

Provide seedlings with some air during their first year

Prick out and pot on after first year
