They look great Alain. What month were they sown? How long, on average, did it take the seeds to germinate? I assume they were in natural light. I've heard conflicting reports about whether those germinated under artificial light germinated slower, faster, or the same as those germinated under natural light. I've often wondered if the drop in night temperature, when the seeds were sown in a greenhouse, hastened germination when compared to the lack, or reduced, night cooling when sown under lights in the house. Seed is a wonderful way to acquire plants. Thanks for sharing. Hope you summer weather is pleasant.
The seeds were sown in April. I would estimate on average germination took ten days.I do not have artificial lights but use a propagator in the greenhouse. I have grown a lot of Lithops this year. The theory with seed raising is you can keep the best plants but the problem wilh Lithops is if they look different I want to keep them all. The Summer has been dry so far.
Spring 2015 sowing.
