To grow lithops from seed, prepare a pot with free-draining cactus compost and additional grit. Water the compost and allow to drain. Sprinkle lithops seeds over the surface and cover with a fine layer of sand or vermiculite. Keep slightly moist until germination occurs, and then gradually reduce watering.
Additionally, are lithops easy to grow from seed?
Germinating Lithops seed is easy. Sow the seed during the warmer summer months when it will germinate quickly. The seedlings are very small for a long time, so the quicker they can start to grow the better.
Accordingly, how do you get seeds from lithops?
Lithops are self-sterile, so must be pollinated to produce seed. The seed is held inside a hydrochastic 4-8 chambered fruiting capsule, which only opens when moistened, exposing the tiny seeds. In nature, falling rain drops splash out the seeds to a distance of an inch to up to a few feet from the parent plant.
