What is that in my Lithops?

Post by iann »

This Lithops 'Hammeruby' has sprouted a weird growth

Look carefully - it is one half of an extremely asymmetric leaf pair. Strange, more like a Gibbaeum.

It's hatching! Run for the hills!

I'm curious about the stacked pots in the background. More pots in less space and extra shade all at once?

I'm a little short of space :) Need a bigger greenhouse, then probably a bigger house!

Hi Ian
Do you think it should resume normal growth in the future?

Asymmetric leaves are normal, although this is an extreme case. I'm sure it will be fine, although it might be tricky getting it back on the right timetable after producing new leaves in the middle of summer.
