Question
HI, i was going to order 1000 lithops seeds and i had a few questions about growing them.  First, how long will it take for them to germinate?  Do i keep the soil moist when they are small?  And lastly, from seed how long will it take for the plant to flower if grown from seed?  Thanks for your help.

Answer
Dustin,

Lithops are not my thing, however they are supposedly very easy to grow from seed. Below is a link for growing Lithops, but it is geared for the souther hemisphere, which means that if they talk about December, it means May in the northern hemisphere. Hope this helps.
