What to do if Lithops has dead seedlings

What is a dead seedling?

The so-called dead seedlings mean that the plants stop growing. They are not dead, but they just don’t grow and there is no change for a long time. Observe the Lithops in your home and see if they have not changed for a long time, not shed their skin in the spring and not hibernate in the summer.

Cause Analysis

The main reason why Lithops become dead seedlings is that the roots are damaged and cannot absorb water and nutrients normally. The plant stops growing due to long-term lack of nutrients. Generally, when the soil in which seedlings are planted is dry and then watered, or when they are exposed to external stimuli such as sunlight and temperature, the roots will instinctively protect themselves, resulting in stunted seedlings.

Treatment

As mentioned above, Lithops becomes dead seedlings because the roots cannot absorb nutrients, which is much simpler. Changing the soil and transplanting the seedlings is currently the most effective method. But this method is not 100% useful. The growth conditions of each lithops are different. Some have been dead for a long time and sometimes cannot be saved. Moreover, everyone's transplanting techniques are different. Whether you can save them depends on your ability!
