my first lithops

Continuing the 'first' post series, these are the first two lithops plants I ever bought. They are very dear to me. Of course I can't say for sure, but my guess is lesliei v. venteri.

Funny thing they stayed small throughout the years. Lesliei generally don't get that big, but these are still pretty tiny. They got two-headed this year (quite a surprise!) but not much bigger - they just have two tiny heads each now. Look healthy though :)

ps: I tried a bigger pot but they didn't like it: got even smaller, haha. (This pot is ca. 5cm Ø)
