Lovely photos Sheryl! I love seeing them properly grown..while mine is struggling hehehhe

Look closely at the photos Tiffany, that's how dry they like it...sometimes I too doubt myself if the plant will survive very dry, but these plants know how to conserve their moisture quite well. But I make that boo boo of doubting their capacity to be dry...oh well... I remember going to the UC Berkeley botanical garden early this year, they really have the desert type succulents in a very dry and higher temp condition, they are in an enclosed glass area. The hardier types of succulents that can take the cold are left outdoors, but those like lithops, they want it very dry and warm and in a very grainy, rocky set-up that will not hold water in case it rains.
