石头种植（Stone planting） The temperature of stone seeding is best controlled from 25 degrees to 15 degrees First, sow preparation 1, looking for seeds. Seed origin is best shared from a friends hand. If you buy, be sure to find reliable stores, do not covet cheap, deceived, buy fakes. Another good idea is to buy a few adult plants first, and then reap the seeds when they are flowering, artificially pollinated. A Lithops pod can be carried from 400 to 500 seeds, planting more than sufficient to play. 2. Select media. Lithops sowing medium can consider three aspects, one is the particle size, the surface with 1mm. The middle layer with 1~2mm, with more than 5mm particles in the bottom. Two, medium type Honeycomb cinder, coarse sand, peat, rice husk, charcoal, red jade soil and so on. Three is the medium ratio, this is not too much attention, if there are several media at hand, you can grab a little at every point. You can also use honeycomb briquette alone, a medium, the effect is also very good. In short, there is no need to rigidly adhere to the type of media and the proportion of recipes. But the choice of media must grasp the following principles: medium not too strong in water -- such as vermiculite is best not to use the medium; not too meat -- for example: some sell on the market with the cultivated soil fertilizer; material containing large amounts of dust with medium permeability dont too bad. 3, seedbed production. We should pay attention to three aspects: one is the bed medium according to a certain particle size stratified laid around with 1mm particles, the thickness control can be around 1cm surface, mainly for germination after seedling roots; the middle layer is the next few months small seedling root system growth, with 1~2mm particles, about 3cm in thickness; the bottom layer is about 1cm infiltration, laying thickness can. In general, the total thickness of seedling bowl medium is appropriate to control in about 5cm, too deep too shallow are detrimental
