Plant a pot of "little butts" in the pot, each one has a different color, and it feels so good to touch!

To raise a butt, first understand the common varieties

There are many types of lithops, the most common ones are Mrs. Li, Fulai jade, pattern jade, sun jade, red string jade, wild jade, red Da Nei jade, etc.

To grow your butt, start from seeds

1. If you want to start with sowing, you must first prepare the soil. We can mix vermiculite, peat, and perlite, and add a small amount of fine sand, which should be very fine.

When preparing a flower pot, choose one with many air holes. Put a piece of gauze at the bottom of the pot, then add a layer of large-grained coal slag, and then fill it with the soil we have prepared.

Prepare a container larger than the flower pot, add a lot of bacterium-methyl solution, soak the flower pot for 10 minutes, take it out, and sprinkle the Lithops seeds evenly on the soil surface.

Place the potted plants in a bright place without direct sunlight. They will generally germinate in 5 days. During this period, we can spray water on the soil surface to maintain humidity.

2. One week after sowing, when the seeds are in the stage of large-scale germination, we can add some carbendazim solution and spray it on the soil surface to reduce bacterial growth.

Note that after spraying carbendazim, spray it again with clean water. After the seeds germinate, we can also put a few cloves of crushed garlic to prevent insects.

3. 20 days after sowing, the Lithops have almost sprouted, and we can place the potted plants in a sunny place.

If you have frosted glass at home, you can place it between the potted plants and the sunlight to reduce the intensity of light. Remove the frosted glass after one month, but be careful to avoid strong light at noon.

If you grow your butt like this, it will be so fat that it will burst

1. Watering

When the seedlings are young, water them if the soil is slightly dry, and add carbendazim once a week. Stop watering when the skin starts to shed. Don't resume watering until the old skin on the outside turns yellow and turns into a thin film. Be careful to supply less water to prevent excessive growth.

When watering, it is best to wait until the soil is completely dry before watering. You can also wait for 3 days after the soil is completely dry before watering to prevent excessive growth. Pay attention to adequate ventilation to prevent diseases.

2. Lighting

Be sure to give it sufficient light during the growing period, otherwise the Lithops will easily grow too tall. The light is strong in summer, so pay attention to shade.

It is September now. Although it is autumn and the temperature has dropped, the light is still very strong. It is easy to be tragic if you don’t shade at noon.

Huahua recommends that everyone should block out the excessively strong light between 10 am and 3 pm every day in September and October!
