The molting process of Lithops and how to cut off water

1. Molting process

Theoretically, the molting process is a process in which the old plant provides nutrients to the new plant and promotes its growth. During the molting process, water needs to be cut off. However, when to cut off the water supply is critical. Because the new plant will only absorb nutrients from the old bark when it has grown almost to the same size. If the water supply is not cut off properly, the new plant will not grow fully, and the entire plant will dry up and shrink after molting. Specifically, the method of cutting off water is different for different periods of molting.

2. How to cut off water supply

1. Seedlings: Within half a year after sowing, it will generally shed its skin twice. Because the plants are very small and in small size at this time, and the water retained in their bodies is relatively small, the water supply cannot be completely cut off at this time, and the soil cannot be allowed to become too dry. Otherwise, the new plants will wither.

2. One year later: Plants that are six months to one year old will be different. After more than a year of growth, it can retain more water and can temporarily tolerate water shortage. So when peeling at this time, just give water once.

3. Two years later: When the plants are two years old, they can be completely weaned from water and do not need to be watered. Because at this time the plant's ability to tolerate water shortage is already stronger.
