January 14, 2017Q.Lithops Seedlings
I just sowed lithops seeds and seedlings started appearing after 5-6 days. This is the first time that I am growing lithops. I bought these seeds from ebay. I am doubtful whether the seedlings are, in fact, lithops or something else. I have seen many photos of lithops seedlings on google and I am doubtful. Can you please see the uploaded photo and tell me if they are lithops seedlings or I have been fooled by ebay seller. Thanks and Best Regards,

They resemble a small pair of lips! This image should help you identify the plant.

Zone 5Q.Stone faces
I have three small, stone faces.one has just died completely, but the other 2 remain. It says on the pot only to water when the leaves dry up, yet it says on the article not to water between fall and spring. Not sure what to do. Will I have new babies coming up? Thanks

Certified ExpertA.They, definitely, do like a drier climate. They can tolerate quite a bit of drought, although they do like to be watered occasionally. If they remain watered for too long, they can get an infection, as well.
Here is an article on their care: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/cacti-succulents/lithop/growing-living-stone-plants.htm

May 15, 2018Q.Lithop plants
HI I live in upstate N.Y and I've fallen in love with those Lithops, living stones,I'd love to use them around my house but I was wondering will they or any cactus grow in N.Y climate? If yes to Lithops,are they perrenial or annual?I like because they look like a rock and grow close to help keep grass from coming up,the other plant I really like is echeveria,probably the same ,N.Y climate and perrenial?if neither of them grow in north,any suggestions I like colors and plants that grow tight to keep weeds down,and only perrenial,would really love to know if there are any cactus plants,northern climate,perrenial. thank you so much for your time Sincerely Pam
