Hi all. Thanks for excepting me to this forum.
I love most succulents but my love belong to Lithops. I use to collect many years ago but lost all my plants. Now that the kids aer big and done with school I have started my first love again.
Hope to learn a lot here.

Welcome to the Forum. Your love of Lithops is shared by others here, so I'm sure you will find plenty to interest you. Do you grow your plants in a greenhouse or just in the garden? Enjoy your plants.

Any Lithops or other South African succulents growing nearby where you live?
Re: New from South Africa
We plant them under sheeting and 40% shade netting. Here where I live we receive up to 700mm rain per anum and all Lithops will just rot away within a few showersjuster wrote:Welcome to the Forum.

Plenty aloes and some small succulents around but no Lithops. Have seen them in the wild on one of hunting trips close to a small town called Prieska in the middel in the Karoo.Aiko wrote:Baie pret.pvdw wrote:Now that the kids aer big and done with school I have started my first love again.
