Ha! 9 out of 10 updates would probably be, "Everything is exactly the same as yesterday." Then maybe on the 10th update, we'd have a new millimeter of growth to share.
Growth not being linear something I really needed to hear today! As someone with a chronic illness, I often feel like I’m “behind” (ambiguously by some mysterious metric I’ve made up in my head).
Sweet baby! Please do share his non-linear progress. My kid used to be enthralled by lithopses, I’m sad to say we have murdered many. But they did sometimes unexpectedly and delightfully thrive 💚
I confess I killed two Lithops plants before I managed to keep this one alive. I was overconfident because I have lots of other plants. If nothing else, my Lithops keeps me humble!
Substack now needs daily Lithops growth updates

Thanks Laney! The dominant cultural belief that success = linear growth is completely, totally, 100 percent wrong.
Thank you! Something I definitely needed to hear today/in general
What a great way to describe the organic chaos of dormancy and growth!
Thanks LC! It sure surprised me when I saw the new baby leaves.

My basil keeps me humble hahah. Such a drama queen ⭐️
Thank you! I needed to hear this today. I’m saving it for the future rainy days 🙏🏻
Thanks Jana! It's a helpful reminder for me, too. Sometimes growth doesn't seem to come at all, and then it suddenly surprises you.
