Hi Guys,
Not a lot happening with the ‘Peppermint Cremes’. They look pretty much exactly the same as they did at day 47.
Step-by-Step
Light: These guys are spending approximately 12 hours a day under their LED light. They are not getting any natural light at all.
Water: I continue to give them a good soak once a week. I have reduced misting to once a day.
Food: Lithops are used to living in very poor soil conditions and don’t need much in terms of fertilizers. That said, I do include a few drops (really…only three) of a balanced plant fertilizer in their soaking water once a week. The soak takes place in the kitchen sink so this is a very very very small amount of fertilizer that probably doesn’t do any good or harm but for some reason, makes me feel like I am caring for them better
Temperature: The nights are getting cold here and I worry about how far behind these little guys seem. The days are still very warm.
