How to propagate Lithops by division

1. Division materials

Lithops has a characteristic that when spring comes, new fleshy leaves will sprout from the middle of it. At the same time, the original old leaves will crack and gradually die, and are gradually replaced by new leaves. These new leaves grow very quickly and will slowly become opposite leaves. In summer, they will crack and sprout, slowly growing into small plants, which can be used as materials.

2. Steps of division

1. Find the small plants that have sprouted and grown from the mother plant, and then use a knife or other tools to separate them. Then, trim their roots, leaving the roots about one centimeter long. Following this method, prune all the cut plants to make them easier to cultivate.

2. Prepare a pot of appropriate size and prepare the substrate in advance. Make sure the substrate is loose, fertile and well-drained. After that, fill in the matrix, the height does not need to be too high. Then, cover it with a layer of diatomaceous earth, which will make it both clean and beautiful.

3. After filling in the substrate, use tools to poke small holes on it, and then plant the small plants in them one by one.

4. After planting, water it a little to ensure it is moist. Then, place them in a cool, well-ventilated location away from strong light.
