What soil is best for Lithops?

2. Increase nutrients

The nutrients in the soil with good looseness are not high, so it is definitely unable to meet the needs of the lithops during its growth period. So at this time, it is necessary to add nutrients to the soil. Lithops begins to grow in the spring and needs to be fertilized about twice a month. When fertilizing, choose light fertilizer because Lithops can tolerate poor quality and strong fertilizer can easily burn it. Summer and early winter are its dormant periods. At this time, it does not require excessive fertilization, once a month is enough. In autumn, it slowly awakens from its dormant period, and it needs to be given additional nutrients, but after the flowers bloom, it no longer needs fertilization.

3. Notes

When applying fertilizer, be careful not to apply it directly on the roots. It should be about ten centimeters away from the roots to avoid burning the roots. Every time you water, pour water on the fertilizer, so that the water can carry the fertilizer to the root system of the plant. This will not burn the roots and will facilitate absorption, which is good for the plant.
