it's the 4th of january and my living stones have been without watering for 18 days. 1 of the conophytum plants has gotten wrinkled but plumps back up the day after watering (the 5th of jan.). both of the argyroderma however have completed their leaf change. 1 of the lithops plants is in the middle of changing leaves. another one has grown the new leaves next to the old ones instead of splitting properly. all of the monilaria plants are splitting as well. so far none of my living stones died because of the extended drought. the artificial day lenght has been 8 h during the whole vacation.
on the 4th of july i water my conophytum plant and begin increasing the daylight hours. on the 6th of july i notice that my conophytum plant has a tear in the middle. i am afraid it is almost bursting because of too much watering. i also increase the daylight hours and the plant lamps are now on for 15 hours. on the 7th of july i water and fertilize all of the other living stones except my conophytum plant. on the 14th and on the 21st of july i water and fertilize all of my living stones including my conophytum plant. it has survived against all odds. on the 26th of july i water and fertilize all of my living stones including my conophytum plant. i also record the temperature indoors + 24 °C. this summer's highest temperature indoors has been + 29 °C.
