Question What suitable media for Lithops??

Hi...everybody...hope some one can give me suggestion and any good solution to let my Lithops have suitable media...

I will receive Lithops from David this few days..so very urgent to get suitable media for my Lithops....

As I know, Lithops sure need pebbles, sand and peat.
Are Pebbles just put in the top of pot?? sand and peat put in the medium and the bottom of pot?? or how??

Lithop's root quite long..so surrounding of root need put what media to prevent them injure?

If I dun put any peat, that 's ok?? Because I no know go where to get the peat. Or any Penang people know that Bukit Mertajam area can get the peak?

When I receive my Lithops, what should I do? David send the lithops by parcel and need few days reach my house. So I immediately plant lithops in the media without watering?? Or need water them??

Feel very shameful to ask so many question...

Anyway, Thanks a lot!!

Default Re: What suitable media for Lithops??

This is my first time growing lithops too, so I'm a biginner. However, I think the first picture of the pebbles might not be suitable as the pebbles are coloured. Not sure if that might be harmful to the plant.

Last picture looks like granite stones.

Help, any sifu around...
