Lithops, or living stones are succulents so they prefer a lot of bright direct or filtered sunlight for 4-6 hours a day.
Grow Light Requirements
Full-spectrum white LED grow lights. The blurple color (blue and red) grow lights won't make a true difference for lithops so don't waste your money on them.
Watering
While lithops are getting new growth, or splitting then hold off on watering, According to Cactusway, "When the new plants are forming, the old leaves are the source of nutrients and water for the new plant. During this time, the roots are on pause."
Lithops go dormant during the summer months so they require little to no water during that time.
Repotting
If you've purchased lithops from Plant Parenthood, LLC then your lithops have already been repotted into new cacti/succulent potting mix that includes the proper drainage.
