lithops in the fridge?

Post by softestpants »

i know there are lots of posts regarding a topic about taking care of lithops in the tropics, but i just wanna know, how do i put them in the fridge? gradually introduce them to the fridge? if so, how? or can i just put them in there overnight immediately? what about the humidity? should i water them less if thats the case? what schedule should i follow? the soil mix i use is probably 30/60 potting soil and pumice. if any of you have any more tips, just shoot. TIA! :colors:

I've honestly never heard of lithops in the fridge - just plant them in coarse gritty soil in a terracotta pot (all my Lithops are in terracotta pots despite the fact i'm in Perth) and water very lightly once a week or only when you see them starting to shrivel.

are the nights in there quite warm during the summer, like above 30 deg celsius? we get nights like that in here and i've read that lithops need about 10-20 deg celsius night temps

No, our night temperatures in summer reach a max of around 22-23 Deg C.
Basically, if you follow certain basic precautions with Lithops - very caorse gritty soil, super small amounts of water etc.. you should be fine.
