Another successful eBay purchase, and my first lithops. L. optica tends to have deep fissures, so I'm slightly nervous that it's splitting and I just haven't realised it. I haven't been able to find any time-lapses of l. optica splitting, so it's hard to gauge. Either way, I'd rather under- than over-water, so I'm not giving this fella even a drop of water until at least April. He'll survive.
