Thanks.
That's one I came across in my searches - but most look a lot neater, clumping species too.
I'm sure it's been grown for sale rather than natural looks - but it tempted me in a closing down sale
I'll give it more sun once it's over repotting.

As a new member it's probably half expected that I have a number of unidentified plants ;) I'm going to try one at a time once in a while - and hope I'm not wasting others' time. This is one from a Homebase sale, came in a plastic pot inside an earthenware pot - with no drainage. I thought it may be...

I assumed that was the case - as with many other plants from the sheds and High Street shops, they look nice til you've had them home for a couple of days

That was I was planning to use, although my present mixture looks much more like plain grit than the typical garden centre stuff they came in.

There is always a window open and the door too most of the day unless I am out. Burying the stems really hadn't occurred to me even though most images show them like that, I assumed best left as they are and next year they may come back up as thay are supposed to. Also I believe that many plants can...

Understood but we seem to be getting just the odd sunny day here now with too many cloudy days in between, Autumn is on the way early I think, quite chilly as well at times. At least we had some rain this week. I suppose they are not in an ideal position, in a South facing porch. They get no overhea...

One disappeared over a week or so, the other still shrinking but almost gone after a couple of weeks. I guess I will leave as they are until Spring and worry about repotting if they do reappear. Luckily I have a spare of each - they won't be seeing too much sun! They were all a bit leggy so that pro...

I have, or perhaps had, a couple of Lithops, labelled as salicola and aucampiae bought recently from a local garden centre. I placed them in a sunny position but I think I may have cooked them as within a few days they showed some wrinkling. I gave them the smallest amount of water in case they were...

Thanks. Indeed there is much online but for so many plants differences can be subtle it is difficult to know where to start with identification (if one can get past the distorted resuts of most search engines). Cultivation is not so much of an issue, so far, except that identification may help in so...

I'm another starting again - after some 50 years. I now live in West Suffolk, the semi-desert that is The Brecks (unlike some areas we've only had a few drops of rain in the last few weeks). I have a few dozen plants in a South facing porch, some gifts, others from garden centres, Wilko, Homebase et...
