Default Re: Beautiful Lithops Grown By Experts

Maybe it's how we water the plants too. If the media has mroe peat or compose, we'll need to wait a longer time before watering again. But then again, the roots will be soaking in the wet soil for too long.

Some websites mentioned the use of perlite instead of pumice. Pumice I think can't find in Mal. So far I have not seen it. Maybe other members have. But I don't think so it's a must to use pumice. Other site I surf said they mix with vermiculite. I have seen these being sold in ACE hardware store before.

Whatever it is I am not taking the risk. I'll keep my Lithop's media very loose to make sure they do not rot.
