Jiimz 3 Lithops Living Stone Mimicry Potted Plants

I ordered a few sets (three come per set) on May 10, 2012 and received them nine days later on May 19. They came secured in a box with foam peanuts for protection, with the top of the plastic pots sealed tight with tape and cotton. There are 3 lithops planted in a soil mix in a 4 inch plastic round container, with each container topped with little stones. All are healthy and fat looking on top and their root systems are fine too. These are interesting looking fat little things.The lithops have little markings on top and include the following colors: brown, light cream, and green.The three lithops look small in their 4 inch plastic pots, so I repotted them into clay pots. They do kind of look like little brains or little rear ends. You could disguise them with stones and pebbles or let them stand out with just soil around the plants. In their natural habitat in South Africa and other parts of southern Africa, their tops face the sun, and most of the rest of the plant is buried. In pots, you may plant a little higher. I replanted mine higher and I wonder if allowing more of the plant to be exposed means that the plant needs a little less sun.General guidelinesDuring the longer days in the northern states, you are supposed to give them about 3 or 4 hours of sun, which may be lightly filtered with a screen. A southern exposure is fine, followed by an eastern location. A western location is a bit hot and strong, possibly needing a little light shade. And a northern exposure's lighting is inadequate. (I am not sure if my location has that much light, but they are getting what sun and bright light is available from the porch).Avoid overwatering and amend the cactus mix with more perlite or other material to encourage better drainage and faster drying of the soil. Faster drying clay pots are preferable over plastic pots.WinterOld leaves shrivel and new ones emerge. Water lightly or not at all.SpringNew leaves absorb the water and nutrients from the old leaves. Water slightly more. Let soil dry a few days before watering again. If the soil becomes bone dry for a very long time, roots may die. But, it's still better to underwater, rather than overwater.If they haven't had sun for a while, gently and gradually expose them to stronger light and sun to avoid sunburn which causes white spots on the plants.One of my lithops got too much sun and each side of the plant had sunburnt white patches. Then, I possibly overwatered and both leaves burst.SummerGrowth stops. Let plants rest. Water lightly or not at all.FallFlower buds appear in late Summer and Fall. Water slightly more.Different types of lithops may have a time schedule which differs from the above general guidelines.

They were carefully shipped and arrived unharmed. Still alive. 3 individual healthy plants. Still cute. Good money value.

i received 3 lithops in a 3 seperate 2" pots. lithops were in a good condition however it was relatively in a small size ( seedlings maybe), or it is suppose to be like that i don't know. i asked seller to send me 3 different variety and i'm glad that i received brown, green and purple/yellow ones. I repotted and not watered them yet. i give a 4 star due to the size. Uploaded the picture of the lithops that i've received.

*updatedI ordered these a while back, along with some lithops from another place. These 3 were bigger than the others and seemed to be pretty healthy when I planted them. Fast forward a few month and most.of the lithops I received during that time period have just died.. never took root. Except for the three I purchased here. They rooted quickly and now have deep healthy roots and have remained healthy and beautiful they are extremely hardy little plants. I am absolutely going to order again.The photos. #1 was right after I received them.#2 is 3 months later. As you can see they have gotten.only a tiny bit bigger but they look healthy and look as if we may have some new leaves emerge soon.#3 with the lithops the lithops I ordered from somewhere else at the exact same time, the other set from another company is much younger, and smaller.. but as you can see they are not doing as well.. I've lost quite a few of them. The smaller set was a set of 10. 7 have died. But the order from Jimz is thrivingThe lithops I ordered from this company are by far the best I've received so far. I am extremely happy.

I was surprised how quickly this order came. Packaged nicely, but thought they should have paced upright in box instead of laying on its side. Three Little cuties in fair condition. Each one being no more than 1 X1" in width & height. They had dead leaves on them and hope this doesn't affect their well being. We shall see if this was worth the investment.

I carefully planted my living stones in a sandy plant soil, and was very careful to not over-water them. They were placed in a window with low sun. After two weeks, they all softened at the base and died. I did everything I could for them, and they did not survive. This was a waste of money.

Lithops were bigger than I expected. Each was about the diameter of a quarter. Lithops were very well-packed. Delivery was slow for Amazon, but it also ended up arriving 5 days before the expected delivery window, so that was cool. Lithops looked very healthy when I repotted them (they don't come in a soil that is appropriate to grow them in.)

I love succulents and wanted to get some of these type for a long time. Cant find any locally. These arrived in great condition and have been thriving since. They are small probably about 3/4 of inch wide when I got them but they have already grown quite a bit. Very happy with this purchase.
