How to grow succulent Lithops

1. Breeding methods

1. Soil: It is best to use sandy soil to grow lithops. The best soil is sand under volcanic rocks. In order to achieve the purpose of beauty and decoration, it would be good to put some medical stone on the surface.

2. Water: Lithops is also a kind of succulent plant. It does not need too much water when it is cultivated. If you water it too much and too frequently, it will develop a habit of dependence, and the leaves' ability to store water will decrease, which will affect the plant's appearance.

3. Light: Lithops is very dependent on sunlight. When cultivating it, you can let it receive light throughout the day. However, you must pay attention to the problem of scorching sun in the summer. Too strong sunlight can damage its leaves. You can also build a shade net to block it.

4. Temperature: It prefers a spring-like climate. It is afraid of the cold in winter and the sun in summer. It is best to maintain a temperature of 15-25℃. Therefore, when the temperature is higher in the summer, try to keep it in a cooler place, and in the winter, try to keep it indoors.

2. Prevention and control of pests and diseases

When it comes to the prevention and control of Lithops diseases, we should mainly pay attention to leaf spot and leaf rot, while the most common insect pests are ants and nematodes. To prevent pests, you can change the soil. If there are diseases, you can spray them with wettable powder of mancozeb. If there are many ants in the breeding environment, you can solve the problem by isolating them with water.
