I bought two lithops plants last October. For what it's worth, I THINK I have lesliei v. venteri, just going by Internet photos after sifting through jillions of them. (At the garden center they were labeled "space rocks" Glare )

So far they haven't done anything. No flowers, no baby leaves in the center. I think I've only watered them twice--once after I transplanted them into their current container, and two days ago when I realized one of the leaves was shriveling a bit (and I only gave two teaspoons of water per plant).

Maybe I just need to give them a little more time? I just thought they would have shown some signs of life by now.

Here's a current photo.

You should water them once in awhile. Maybe now would be a good time.

My lithops only recently started doing things after having them for almost a year. From what I've gathered, they don't do much until spring time. So it may be soon! Thumbs up

LIthops just do not grow quickly. Be patient I guess. Gene
