Living Stones/Linthops / Succulents

You could try looking under Lapidaria, just a guess, looking at an old book I have.

lapidaria - Google Search

 

Plant on the left is a Crassula. Not sure of the species - my books are at home

Plant on the right is Pleispeilos nelii

 

@pete I remembered your photo today. I'm right behind you! Well, nearly...

These seedlings were sown last summer and are now getting a bit rampant. Is it just me, or are the shapes somehow vaguely rude?

 

I think your not giving them enough light and they are growing when they should be resting.
In other words, growing out of character.

 

You are right Pete, they shouldn't be growing in January. But, them being seedlings with hardly any root or body, I haven't had the heart to force them to hibernate.

We'll see if they'll correct their behaviour with increased daylight now. Fantastic plants, I'll sow some Lithops Hookeri v Susannae and Titanopsis tomorrow

 

They need to rest after only their first growing season.
No water and cool temps all winter, some species need watering earlier than others, often just a light spray at first to get them going is best.
Some of these actually survive in the wild on fog, with practically no rain.
