Re: Lithops cultivation

el48tel, I joined the BCSS just before you, I had 4 pots of lithops with 2 in each in the first summer, I was sure the old leaves were shrivelled enough when I gave the first water, I was very wrong, those shrivelled leaves plumped up at an amazing rate and stayed like it for over a month. This year...

I have had multiple issues with Royal Mail and now do my very best to avoid whenever I can. I have made 3 complaints and written to their chief executive, no reply. I do think it varies though and it depends on your post person.
