Looking good so far, but would be much quicker to go from flower to seed :lol:

Hello, could you comment how to care seedlings of Titanopsis and Lithops? For example, % of shade, how often and how water them.

I'm sorry I missed your post :oops:

I grow my plants in very special conditions. I use artificial light, only artificial light, and water my plants every 10 days. I perform some experiments with fans and sensors to get good conditions for my plants.

I do not have a greenhouse or a garden but grow my plants indoors.

If I will succeed, the future will show :)

The count in days are not from germination, it's from the day the seeds was sowed :)

Thank you :)

These seeds were purchased as Aloinopsis luckhoffii RH 3333 (Steinkopf, RSA, 900m).

Somehow I lost interest in these plants, but I took care of them anyway
Stomatium alboroseum?
