Lithops are AWESOME!

Watering: Please Note:  Lithops are NOT a type of "Water When Dry" plant. DO NOT WATER WHEN THEY ARE SPLITTING WITH NEW Lithops on their middle*

ONLY water when the new leaves come and the old leaves have shriveled. This can be 2 times a year.  A light misting once a month is OK in very hot summer months.  NEVER water in the winter months as they go dormant.   That's all they need!!    They are extremely prone to root rot!

Lithops aka Living Stones, collection of individual lithops, they come in a 2.5″ plastic container usually containing 2-4 lithops in each container, but sometimes/rarely only 1 very larger and mature one, based on stock, size and other factors. Sometimes we also ship them in plastic square 2" containers, they will have multiples as well. Sizes and colors of lithops vary based on current stock and season!!!  Please note that 99% of lithops are browns and grays. Other colors are a rarity.  If you are looking for a large variety of colors, please email first as we cannot guarantee the colors we have in stock.

2", 2.5", 3.5" etc. refers to approx. container size.  Each quantity is for ONE container, unless it's an exact listing for multiple containers. 

***Depending on the Lithop growing season, sometimes lithops will begin to naturally split, crack etc.  Lithops can have scars on their sides and on top, this is natural and doesn't mean your lithop is dying.  Lithops split.  Any scarring is not permanent and will be shed when they split!  This is a natural process with Lithops.  They are also one of the most difficult succulents to grow!  Sometimes they just die. No reason, it just happens.  They are strange and so unique!  Have fun and enjoy them!

Sometimes soil gets displaced during shipping, sometimes a plant can come out of it's container, just gently place back in, it won't kill the plant, many mesembs are grown from seeds and are transplanted and moved multiple times during their lives! Don't water for 3 weeks after replanting/transplanting.

Fine gravel may or may not be included, it is extremely hard to keep contained, assume it's not, if it is and you can salvage it, have at it.

*"*We are now offering Exact" containers/sets of Lithops.  "Exact" means you are purchasing the lithops in that picture.*  And we'll be adding new ones every couple of days so keep checking back!

CARE SHEET

>Rock Cactus (Lithops) :

There are well over 300 types of Lithops. Each are named with the Cole system ( after the man who found the while exploring Africa). They range in texture, size, color,

Watering:
Tap water or distilled water is fine. Humidity is not required for this plant. Treat it as a cactus.. Be sure not to over water. It will take up all the water that is put in the pot. So if too much water is given..the plant will swell and split.  **I've been told by a grower of lithops a light mist in the winter every few weeks is ok....***

Light:
Lighting is just as easy. The Lithops can take full strength sun. No shade is required. However…if doing so be sure to water every week (instead of every other ). For indoors…A window sill with any direction light will do. Too much light is not a problem. Too little light is. You know when the plant is not getting enough light when it appears to be ‘reaching’ for it. Meaning it will lose its rock like appearance and grow taller. If this is noticed, simply find another place with more light.

Temperatures:
The Lithops will do fine in just about any temperature that it is given. Naturally found in the desert of South Africa and north, the plant will do fine with temps in the upper 90′s (Fahrenheit) to 100 degrees. On the other side of the scale…do not allow your Lithops to freeze. It will do fine in temperatures in the upper 40′s and greater. If it freezes it will die.

Fertilizer:
Fertilizer is a requirement that is of some debate with growers. To play it safe…a diluted amount of 20-20-20 plant food ( about 1/4 strength) will be fine about 1 a month. No more than that. After the plant flowers in late Fall/early Winter ( see special notes ) no fertilizer should be applied to the plant until after the new growth comes n.

Soil:
The soil mix for this plant will vary from person to person. The best mix would be 40% peat moss and 60% perlite to allow drainage. The pot needs to be able to allow excess water to drain ( for fear of plant swelling). So a loose soil will be best.

Growth:
The growth cycle of the Lithops is quite unique. There are basically 3 stages. The plant has no dormancy period ( that is noticeable ). In the Fall ( sometimes Winter ) the Lithops will shoot a flower up between the
leaves. It will look like a small daisy ( most colors are yellow and white). After the flower dies off ALL WATERING/FERTILIZING SHOULD BE STOPPED!!! It is at this point the plant will rest a short time. Then from the middle again two new leaves will start to form. They will take all the moisture
and nutrients from the old. This is why it is important not to water/fertilize ( it will disrupt the process ). The old leaves will shrivel and die and the new ones will come in and replace the old. After
that point…it is safe to resume watering/fertilizing.

Reproduction:
The Lithops will reproduce by runner ( a ‘root’ that will spread out ). A new plant will come up (usually by the parent.) The other way that they will reproduce is by seed.

Important Notes
1) Never over water your plant. It will swell and sometimes split. If this happens special chemicals will need to be applied so that bacteria does not enter the plant and cause it to die. 2) Do not allow your plant to freeze. The Lithops can take a wide spectrum of temperatures above 50 degrees. 3) Do not water or fertilize your plant when it is producing new leaves.This will disrupt the process which it needs to complete

Mesembs also known as Mimicry succulents are some of the most interesting and primitive looking succulents out there!  Naturally found in hot, dry desert type environments where water is an uncommon visitor.  This listing is for 5 different mesemb type plants, potted in their plastic round 2.5" containers.  They come labeled and ready for you to enjoy.  Pictured are some of the types we have, but there are also others not pictured.  Our stock varies weekly, monthly and seasonally, we'll always do our very best to ship out the nicest variety of mesemb mimicry succulents we have available!

***Some Mesembs can shed their skin, they can have nicks and marks and small scars, imperfections,  just like people. 

Really, really watch your watering w/ these guys, google info on each and learn what they like, they are not your common succulent that just needs water when dry, don't water when wet maintenance.  sometimes these guys need to be left dry for months!

***Baby Toes are very fragile.  Sometimes some of their many stems can get cracked and or damaged during shipping.  They are one of the most interesting succulents out there so when we have them available, we'll try and include them.  Damage will eventually be outgrown.  If this is an issue, please make a note during checkout not to include Baby Toes, but it will be your loss!   :)

Sometimes soil gets displaced during shipping, and sometimes a plant can come out of it's container, just gently place back in, it won't kill the plant, many mesembs are grown from seeds and are transplanted and moved multiple times during their lives!

If you want a book on the details of AI without math and statistics, this is it
Format: Paperback
I had this book a year or two back and then sold a lot of books as they piled up. After that I read a good number of books on AI. Of those, Ethan Mollick's book Co-Intelligence is best for the user end. But then there was still the issue of how do they do it? If you want to understand the process how AI works, there are a few books like this. Melanie Mitchell tends to focus on pictures. When you read ANY of these book, you will come to a page where you think "this makes no sense." You get there because the way AI chops up information and stores it in "cells" and then processes in stages (deep learining, hidden layers) is not how we think. They are not brains, though the neural network has some similarity to ours. You will simply need to finish the book. This one or the one you bought. Then read another one, if needed. It will make a lot of sense if you finish the book. Then you just generalize where you are at. I am never going to write Python or get deeply involved in tha manner. I am quite familiar with the free vesrions and I am able to check what summaries I get from AI. I will also keep up with the language part of it. AI does not study grammar the way we do. It looks for patterns in millions of examples. I have since 2023 gone through most of the 20 dollar range books. This one is the best.

Great, funny intro to AI
Format: Hardcover
This is a wonderful, humorous introduction to AI that is a fast read packed full of examples. It makes a great gift for friends or family who don’t know much about the field, and I imagine it would be especially interesting to teens. I loved the way she used running jokes to make connections between themes. Shane is clearly on a mission to make AI more accessible. It’s funny, someone else said they didn’t like this book because it wasn’t enough like Shane’s tear-inducingly-hilarious blog. But here’s the thing: I can read the blog for free! I was actually nervous that I was going to be getting a repeat of the blog in book form, but it was super different. If you’re a computer science scholar, maybe skip this one, but I don’t think that was the audience Shane was trying to reach.

Humorous intro-level book to AI
Format: Hardcover
If you are new to the field of AI, this is a fun read. The author does a fine job breaking down complex topics into bite-size, entertaining sections. However, if you are not new to the field of AI, you'll probably find this book boring and will find more joy in visiting the author's popular website. Personally, I find this book forgettable and not living up to the hype.

Captivating storytelling and educational material
Format: Paperback
My ten years old boy loved WW2 in Europe: Great Battles for Boys. He likes to read about war and it his third book from Joe Giorello. It is an engaging and easy-to-understand account of significant World War II moments designed for young boys. It has pictures and maps so they can have a better understanding about the War and through captivating storytelling and educational material, it provides a valuable introduction to this crucial era, promoting a greater comprehension and respect for the experiences and achievements of individuals during that time.

Why are these books so hard to find in libraries and bookstores??!
Format: Paperback
Bought nearly the whole book series after reading the reviews. My 8 and 10 year old boys love these books. My 10 year old read the first book on his way to and from soccer practice. He couldn't put it down and kept telling me what he read. My boys have read all the "Magic Treehouse", "I Survived" and some "I Escaped" books, as well as "Big Nate", "Diary of a Wimpy Kid", etc. BUT these battle books are the best. They really teach about the history of the wars which have shaped our modern times. WHY are these books so hard to find in libraries and bookstores... at least in Maryland? Maybe because "Great Battles for Boys" reeks of toxic masculinity? I really wonder. In any case, great books especially if you want your boys to read serious, informative books that are interesting and entertaining.
