I planted them, 10-12 per clay pot, in 9 pots [one of them took all of the more disformed and young].

I tried to let the soil-sand-perlite mix dry a bit. Let's hope this is the begining of a nice lithops experience over the following years!!!

Total cost in euros:
clay pots x10 = 8 euros
lithops potsx3 = 15 euros
soil mix = minimal cost

I just want to add to this thread that it is very important not to put lithops in direct sun for 2-3 weeks after replanting because their tiny roots take a while to recover and they will scorch. I made this mistake with a batch and lost most of them, it was only october but the sun was still to much.

Hmmm thanks, that's useful to know. What about watering? Should I start watering a bit those who have completed the splitting proceedure?? What about the smaller ones, do they need more watering as their water tanks are smaller too?
