How to grow Lithops well? A detailed guide to Lithops care

Lithops is a perennial succulent herb. Its appearance looks quite like a stone. Many people have probably seen Lithops split open, but do not know that it can actually bloom. Its adorable appearance makes many people really want to grow it, but they do not know how to grow Lithops. Now let the editor teach everyone~

How to grow Lithops

1. Choosing a flower pot

The root system of Lithops is the relatively deep type, so when preparing a flower pot, choose one shaped somewhat like a bucket to grow it

2. Soil choice

First prepare a pot of soil; the potting soil must be loose and soft, and must not be too compact, otherwise its drainage will be poor, which can easily cause water to accumulate in the pot and affect the growth progress of Lithops

3. Light

1. It is a relatively drought-tolerant flower, and also one of the plants that prefer sunlight more than many others. If we are growing it at home, we can place it on a balcony or by a window, so that its surroundings can fully receive sunlight. It is a flower that is not afraid of high temperatures, so placing it where sunlight can reach means there is no need to worry about its growing environment.

2. If summer comes, when the temperature is relatively high and the air is relatively dry, we should try our best to provide shading measures for it.

4. Watering

1. Spring

In spring, because spring is a relatively dry season, we can give it a suitable amount of water to absorb. Water absorption is relatively strong in spring; if we do not observe its growing environment at all times, it can easily lead to unfavorable growth

2. Summer

When the weather enters summer, at the highest temperatures, we also do not need to water often. It is suited to growing when the weather is warm, and watering twice a month is enough. It is a relatively drought-tolerant flower.

3. Winter

When winter comes, we should try not to water it, because the weather temperature is relatively low. When we do water it, we must control the amount of watering well and observe at all times whether its potting soil remains in a relatively dry state as it grows.

5. Fertilizing

When we are preparing to fertilize Lithops, we should spread its fertilizer in the middle of the flower pot. Apply different fertilizers according to its growth progress. The fertilizing frequency is generally once every fifteen days, twice a month. When fertilizing, the fertilizer must not be spread too densely to cover the whole flower pot, and also be careful not to spread fertilizer on the Lithops plant itself, otherwise it will affect its growth. When it blooms in the autumn season, stop fertilizing it.
