My apologies, the sound on this is quite low... I uploaded another copy of this but didn’t realize the sound was so low. So I turned the sound as high as I was able, and re-uploaded this version. It’s still pretty quiet, but a bit louder than the other version. If I could remake it I would, but the potting is already done, and I’m too busy to dig them all up and do it again! Hope it’s still hel...

Q&A: Answering Questions From The Channel
I love your video! What kind of soil did you mix? Thank you!
Thank you! I love crotons and have bought a lot of them. The ones with these have done really well and the ones that didn't have given me all sorts of problems, so now I'm to the point of only buying crotons where I can see this around the stem of the plant.
For me, Bonsai Jack's full gritty mix. I often mix this gritty mix with my other soil for a lot of other cacti but for the lithops it's straight
Hi. Do you water your newly potted Lithops? I just bought mine and it’s summer in California.
🌹❤😇❤🌹

Mine always end up rotting, I’ve tried so many times and had so many failures. Should the soil be kept moist or dry or what am I doing wrong?
Can you use the tongue depressor shaped pieces of astragalus root in the same way to make a nourishing herbal infusion? Thank you for an awesome teaching video!
Do you have a tutorial on proper pot sizes, material etc for lithops?
Everytime when i am repotting plants they have it and it chokes out the growth and it does not disintegrate. I was told by a greenhouse staff that they use them when making up flower baskets so that they do not overgrow the pots they are selling to you. It allows the shelf life for sale be a lot longer and it prevents a situation where they would have to repot. Basically expect that you have to cut them off and likely have to replant as you will need more soil as these root mesh pods also helps them save on soil. I know this is a very old video but a very good one.
I've learned so much. Feel confident repotting my string of bananas in a shallow clay pot. Thanks!
I watched your videos a few years ago and I just watched them again because you do such an excellent job explaining conophytum.
Thank you, exactly what I needed!
Glad you are feeling better
What is your FB page? Having a hard time finding it. 😊
Bravo. Clinical
But i have the problem, kind of, with those small last ones
I'm very new to this journey and I appreciate your knowledge and will be definitely watching all these videos. I do love my lithops
Would love to see how to care for it after potting the tubers. I’ve tried so many times and they always rot.
I just got one myself from the 2 dollar rack at walmat. The one i got was super dry though. I put it in a gigh drainage succulent mix, drenched it, and let it drip dry out. Today it still seems fine so after seeing this i am hoping the next few days will be ok. I live in a desert and the humidity of my home is now 26 percent so i think i am going to be okay.
Link plz
Was searching for a reason I was sent tissues along with a fabric pot purchase. I guess the "tissues" would be useful if I wanted to start seedling this way. This video was so helpful because I'd never heard of this 🙂
I came here because mine was the bunch of straight ones that I picked up at Kroger a couple of years ago but over the last few months, lots of new growth was going on and I wanted to know about separation. I'm very excited about the pups now! The cuttings can go back into a pot together again but I'm really looking forward to seeing the pups grow into the plants they were meant to be!
Love watching your informative videos! Thank you so much 🎉🎉🎉
Can u report a plant, can u disturb the root, mix it up. By da roots being tight, do u loosen up, da roots
The most important thing for plants is water ! When , and How Much ! 🙏🙏
Great video ! Thanks ! 👍👍👍👍🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🙏🙏🥰
Ive lost so m🎉any plants from that mesh wrapped around the root of the plant! Sooo frustrating
A friend just gave me a cutting so I guest I have to wait now till new babies come before it looks like it's mother ?, plus my son just got me a fan one as well . Very hard to find here in NZ what soil do you use for the repotting?.
Fantastic advice. Thank you
Great information, thanks very helpful. I am starting to use in orchids with leca on the bottom and lava rock on the top, it's only been 2 weeks. Hopefully they do great. Thanks again 😊
Thank you for this informative video
A lithops pro told me that he spray or water them slightly especially in spring doesn’t matter if they split or not! What do you think about this?
Thanks a lot Ashley, I got a lithops and it is potted in a DIY potting mix, that allows a lot of drainage, its been a couple of weeks and there seems to be no change. When it arrived it had almost no roots. Should I transfer it to an all perlite mix?
Do the stems that got all shrunken and wilty during the dehydration period come back to life?
What if a new one pops out but the old leaves are still insanely plump from overwatering at the store. I have been keeping them dry for weeks but they haven’t shrunk at all… in those cases would it be beneficial to cut off some of the plump old leaves?
Do you have any videos on above water therapy? My lithops got its roots torn off but I think there’s still a small piece inside it. will adding rooting powder or gel help?
Thank you. I had a similar problem. Mealy bugs thinned the top of my pot
What is the name of the plant you're holding near the end of the video? It's so cute.
Just found this video. What little pot are these guys in? They’re so cute and pretty. :))
that cooperi deff need some light XD thats why it streched so much. its a balance for cooperi to not giving it too much light that it turns red/brown but also not too little to get a streched resoult
Perfect timing! I got a small ric rac a few months ago at a plant swap but didn't know anything about it. Put it in my (mostly) cactus garden and it's undoubtedly been getting too much sun and not enough water. Will be repotting and repositioning it today!
What kind of light should they have? I know you said windows seal. I didn’t great if it is ok for direct sun. I have one in the bathroom and it doors pretty good.. My first time having them I went and separated them.. so mine are way safer and skinnier but they are starting to fan out but I would love to know I’d they can have direct light or just shaded sun? Ty so much!
I always thought they were two different plants. I rescued a bunch of, now I know were cuttings, and when the pups started growing they were fan shaped and I was so confused 😂😂😂😂
Just wanted to thank you for your informative video! I learned everything I was wondering about. I am a brand new Conophytum grower. 😊
I just got mine it's not that big but yours is beautiful
Thanks for the mini blind secret … what company do you use for the tags ??
I would put the soil in first..then poke holes to accommodate roots
O m g you just saved me from a full blown break down. I am sitting here with my burros tail in front looking at it wondering how to actually do this seeing as he's already shot 4 leaves off, of course I just watered him so now I am stopping and going to let it dry out and use your method lol thank you
Plant mama here... I would strongly advise against washing soil down your kitchen sink drain. That soil can block up your pipes over time. If you've never had to replace the pipes from the street to your house, it'll run you anywhere from $20-$40K. I have 5gl buckets I work with when I have to rinse dirt from the roots. That water goes outside into my compost afterward in the event there are mealies or other pests.
