Plant Pro Tip
Don’t water them while lithops are in the process of splitting as they absorb the moisture from the old leaves and transfer into new ones. If your water during this process, old leaves will not dry out, stay too big, and will kill new leaves.
Make sure you let any excess water drain away to avoid root rot.
