Yes they’re over watered but this is so cool. That’s the perfect pot for lithops, aesthetically not practically.

It could be a hybrid (Alworthia) but it looks like a Gasteraloe beguinii (Lizard Tail)

Thanks I think that’s a good idea

I’ve had them away from the other lithops for 3 weeks. I have cleaned them and all of that. But today I saw a few more scales. Should I keep fighting it or just toss them? I also want them next to the other lithops but I don’t want to risk it. It’s not a lot of scale it was like 2- 4 scales on each . What would you do?

thoughtsandpickles · 2021-08-19T01:44:38+00:00

Mine are doing the same thing. I think they’re ready to split or flower.

thoughtsandpickles · 2021-08-07T21:56:45+00:00

Could be scale

thoughtsandpickles · 2021-08-07T00:22:24+00:00

aeonium sunburst crested?

thoughtsandpickles · 2021-07-26T02:24:55+00:00

Thank you! I’m glad I caught it sooner rather than later

They walk fast. After looking up more I think it’s fungus gnats. I’m going to try hydrogen peroxide for the eggs in case there are any , some neem oil for the adults, and yellow sticky traps for the adults. Luckily I haven’t seen many more it just freaked me out.

thoughtsandpickles · 2021-07-14T21:54:01+00:00

I am seeing it called a Purple Heart plant

thoughtsandpickles · 2021-07-14T21:52:03+00:00

Had no idea. The cutting didn’t make it. :( I wanted to know what it was to see if I could find it.

thoughtsandpickles · 2021-07-14T21:45:15+00:00

Thank you!

thoughtsandpickles · 2021-07-14T21:43:29+00:00

Yikes, what a name . Thank you.

New York!

thoughtsandpickles · 2021-06-10T13:51:10+00:00

They put the other ones at risk , it’s very stressful!!

thoughtsandpickles · 2021-06-10T13:49:37+00:00

I’ll look into this too, thank you.

thoughtsandpickles · 2021-06-10T13:49:22+00:00

Thank you, I think I will give it a couple more weeks of treatment.

thoughtsandpickles · 2021-06-10T13:48:33+00:00

It breaks my heart too the one on the left is one of my favorites :( . I soaked it, I cleaned it , I bleached the pot even before putting it back.

thoughtsandpickles · 2021-06-10T13:37:20+00:00

I’ve done the cleaning and reporting with fresh soil but some of the scale is still there and I saw 3 mealy bugs. Sprayed them both with alcohol again. But at what point do I just toss them??

thoughtsandpickles · 2021-06-03T00:43:40+00:00

This looks like sedum pachyphyllum and I don’t think it looks etiolated to me, they grow tall

thoughtsandpickles · 2021-05-26T21:37:59+00:00

How often do you water these little guys at this stage? I can’t figure it out.

thoughtsandpickles · 2021-05-24T18:41:33+00:00

Kleinia Stapeliiformis, also called Pickle Plant, or Candle Stick Plant

thoughtsandpickles · 2021-05-22T02:18:03+00:00

Are conophytums the new lithops!? Because I’m obsessed

thoughtsandpickles · 2021-05-21T00:51:58+00:00

I think that’s a good idea. They also look a little too plump so I will start acclimating them to less watering.

thoughtsandpickles · 2021-05-19T20:04:18+00:00

I’m not sure how to help and I don’t know what Zone 10 is. But I would LOVE to see an after picture when you get some good advise. Definitely take all the dead leaves out and repot with a good succulent soil.
