Ooooh, IKEA has cheap Lithops for sale now! Going at $2.90 each, it's quite a steal. Big and fat too, and as some of them have flowered, these are 4 or 5-year-old plants. Go grab them while you can!



Incidentally, I've NEVER had success with them. I either drown them, or parch them. Did a tiny bit of reading this morning (there isn't a lot of information on the web, unfortunately, and definitely none available in the local setting), and did up a simple chart to mimic the conditions they have in the African deserts.



Since some of the IKEA plants have flowered, they're actually in the Autumn phase. I'm leaving them to totally dry out first before watering aain, and once the new leaves form I'll stop the watering. Should work this time, I hope!
