Lithops propagation method

1. Sowing period

The best time for sowing is in autumn, when the temperature can remain stable at 15-25 degrees Celsius, which is approximately between September and October. There may be some differences due to regional differences. The temperature during this period is relatively mild, which is very conducive to sowing, germination and growth, and the chance of survival will also increase.

2. Soil Preparation

Soil is very important for later growth, and you can directly buy special soil. You can also mix peat soil and vermiculite, which needs to be thoroughly disinfected before use to kill bacteria and insect eggs and avoid interference from these two aspects in the later stage.

3. Seed Processing

According to demand, purchase the desired variety of seeds and then treat them with disinfectant.

4. Sowing

Spray water on the soil to maintain moisture, which will be beneficial for later growth. Sow the processed seeds and pay attention to the surrounding environment. It is best to maintain the temperature between 15 and 30 degrees. If it exceeds this range, the survival rate will be lower.

5. Post-maintenance

First, maintain it in a diffuse light environment. After the seedlings grow out, remove the weeds around them. After waiting for about a month, you can apply fertilizer normally.
