Lithops - Living Stones [limited]
Fairy Garden Succulents
I read the lithops are not self fertile. I planted mine by itself with gritty soil mix inside under grow lights and after 2 weeks the biggest "head" of 3 has a flower stalk! Is this ok? Do I need to do something differently? The plant arrived evidently as 1 plant but with 2 tiny baby plants next to it. This is my first lithops obviously😁 Thank you
