Last year's seedlings are starting to look more like lithops and less like generic green blobs

I too have an alien plant

The tray of mixed Lithops germinated this year. I've simply added some sieved gravel. I may also have managed to cover some of the tiny ones

these pics were taken on May 3rd just before the first watering of the year and two weeks later they're starting to look pretty good again needless to say they didn't get the repot I promised them ,maybe next year

A couple of trays of seedlings so far. Tray 1Tray 2Tray 1 I had the seed in the fridge so sowed at the optimum time in Late winter/ early spring. Tray 2 I ordered in spring internationally and its despatch was delayed due to the pandemic. The lesson is buy now plant later rather than buy later plant much much later Lithops seed remains viable for a number of years

When it comes to pricking out it'll have to be in rows in a tray. That's the problem with seed, you get a lot to pot on. I could fill another small greenhouse If I pot them individually.

Tray 2 today. I'll be a lot happier when they get their true leaves. They're behind due to Covid19
