Lithops 50 Seeds with 5 Baby Plants and 1 Germination Kit, High Germination Rate, Freshly Harvest, Fun & Easy Grow Kit for Lithops Beginners

I generally have a green thumb (I research plant care ahead of time, and notice subtle details in plant condition changes and respond quickly before it becomes a problem). However, I have never grown succulents from seed, let alone lithops. However, excellent instructions were included as well as healthy seeds, and quality, sterile seed starting soil. So I am posting week-by-week updates with tips that worked for me. Week 1: In only 6 days from planting, I can already see 16 seedlings from 50 seeds (32% germination rate at least). Since I have read it can take 1-3 weeks for germination, (and I am probably missing some tiny ones germinated under a piece of larger grit, they will make their way around), I am quite impressed!! Extremely simple and easy to understand instructions. People who are having issues with them dying off after germinating, or not germinating, 9x/10 you are watering these guys too much. I only added enough water a bit at a time with the included dropper just until I saw the smaller particles at the bottom of the container were evenly wet. I open it up every day or two to check on them, freshen the air, and only add a couple drops of water if the grit at the bottom of the container looks dry. I have it in indirect light from a grow light. My house is 64-68 F. The second photo is a collection of the free lithops I received with this order, plus others ordered separately from this store. 2 week update: They are basically all germinated! Not counting the little buggers now. I mist them twice a day now that the lid is off at a 60% germination rate per the instructions. I skip a misting if the top of the grit still looks wet. Picture attached. 3 week update: They all look like lithops now! It looked like 10% were prioritizing top growth over root growth (falling over), so I added rooting hormone and in a couple days they became noticeably larger and are now all upright. I definitely mist two times a day, sometimes three, because they have larger root systems and therefore need more water (I still only mist if the top of the grit is dry). I moved them closer to my grow light, so they went low-medium light, to medium light (as far as cheapo grow lights go!) Adding the three week photo! 4.5 week update: Mistakenly flooded the guys a little over a week ago thinking I could use a small watering can carefully and many floated—- They were crowded anyway, so I repotted very carefully into two cups using a toothpick. Toughest seedlings I have ever seen! pictures of both cups now lol. Second cup is tiny dudes that floated.

Lets start with this. For every order you place you receive about 3-4 free baby lithops. Second thing. I ordered a set of seeds and I found that my package was broken and the seeds feel out. I contacted the seller and with no questions they sent me an extra pack of seeds with the bonus lithops. I planted my seeds an in about days I have 11 seedlings growing already. There are still moe coming up so the germination rate for these seeds is pretty good in my opinion. I'm a beginner too and have never germinated any kind of seeds before. Do a little research first and you'll be all set. These seeds are great! Soil: this seller offers soil which is great if you are starting out. I actually bought a pack of soil from them and they send me extra lithops with this order as well. If you want to make the soil on your own but organic succulent soil or peat moss, horticultural sand, and pumice (or FINE volcanic red horticultural rock). Mix 1 part soil/peat moss to 2 parts pumice. After you do this put the soil you mixed in a small 4" terracotta pot. Put a very small amount of sand in a small Tupperware container and then sprinkle all of the seeds in the sand. After the seeds are in the sand, mix it up and then evenly sprinkle the sand over the top of the soil so it evenly places the seeds in the soil. Lastly, cute a small piece of saran wrap and the place it over the top of the pot with a rubberband so it is secure and tight. Pull the saran wrap down to secure it if you have to. And final step is putting it on a bright window seal and watch the magic happen.

I am very impressed with the fact that these seeds were as viable as they were! They were packed perfectly and their provided instructions were so thought out and helpful. I have baby lithops growing right now! Also, the more grown lithops are doing great as well. They came packaged incredibly well and are beautiful little things! I just have to get a more rocky soil for them. I would just tell you to be more prepared than I was- get a rocky substrate to plant these little guys straight into so you don't have to repot them at all. Keep them grouped close together, they like to be snug and don't water them if they have their new set of petals coming in or you could kill them. They are just so cute! The seeds come with their own medium in the package, you just moisten it, then sprinkle the seeds on top, snap the lid back on and you're good to go. They provide two instuction sheets, one for the seeds and one for the established cuttings. Just follow the provided instructions to the letter and you will have no issues! Such a fun little experience for me!

You can see the seeds I have circled in the second pic, gives you an idea of how small they really are. I know i did not get 25 but did receive at least a dozen or so. They are smaller than the head of the toothpick they sent with them. I planted them as instructed, along with the 3 free ones they provided. The 3 free ones have taken hold and doing well. Not sure if you can see it but in the top of the first pic there is a seed that has germinated and plant is growing. Very tiny. Planted them on May 4th, sprouted today, May 9th. Will continue to update. Update May 26th. 2022: I have moved them to a larger container. There are only 7 that have propagated after a few weeks now. See circled in blue on the pic. The three in red are the ones they sent already mature. For some reason the mature one to the left is withering away. Will continue to provide updates. Not sure I would pay $14 again. Maybe $4 or less. Update June 7th: Most people who know me typically come to me with questions about gardening and I would consider myself of someone who has a "green thumb", so to speak. In my yard I have planted things that others have not been able to grow next door or around my neighborhood. However, I also know some plants that I am not familiar with might be a challenge. I typically study and research about plants in order to understand how to be successful in planting seeds or planting from the nursery plants. So, with that said, of the 25 seeds or so that I received, I have one remaining that propagated and is surviving. I am not sure if it will last, but it is very small, but surviving. All other seeds, the few that did propogate, have all died. Of the 3 mature specimens the seller provided me, two of them are surviving and one has died. Not a lot more to say. I am sure I would not pay to try the process again. Not worth the effort to me, but I am glad I tried in order to know how NOT to grow Lithops. Good luck to all of you who try.

So so cute and they all arrived safe. I thought they'd be easy to take care of but they all dried up within around 2 months. It was most likely because I wasn't caring for them correctly, but still something to keep in mind.

I received my package today! I'm giving 5 stars even though I need more time to make sure the seeds germinate. I recieved 6 very decently sized babies along with my seeds. That in and of itself was worth the money. Packaging was done with care. Most importantly instructions were clear!

I absolutely loved the live lithops that were sent and had wonderful germination success with the seeds. It started off with at least 15 seeds sprouted however with me not having much experience and just buying them AND THEN researching how to care for baby lithops, I was saddened when they began dying. The seeds and dormant plants that are in this package should not be planted together like I did. They both require two entirely different watering processes. Had I planted them separately i feel confident in these seeds that they would have sprouted and stayed alive. Follow directions and make sure to not over water. It doesn't take a rocket scientist but it does take a level of knowledge on these buggers to not kill em

I had no luck growing them but that may be my fault. That's why I gave them 3 stars.
