    Absolutely Lyn ... use the reputable suppliers, of which there are quite a few on Ebay ... but as I said there are many that aren't reputable.

    I think these long leggy seedling might be weeds but you never know, they may be Chinese weeds which will prove interesting. Lithop seedlings will definitely come up as tiny blobs so keep your eyes open. Keep them moist and warm.

  • Wait and see, they may be some beautiful plant, but probably not. 

  • I had same situation, and I got same weed. Same look.

    After that, i will buy only from validated sites.

    I tried www.rareplant.me , they have great choice, and finally got real lithops and some other nice succs.

    anyone ever purchase the non existent rare blue pearl from WISH? or any other seeds from WISH? 

    I haven't started the seeds yet as this is an obvious first time buyers.. starters common mistake.. but I do hope to plant soon so that I can see how much of a scam I fell for

    $1-$100 doesn't matter, this just stinks but I lose no hope..

    Any suggestions on planting them? 

    Would Sandy fresh burnt soil from a crop work? 

    Rock.. no lime stone right? 

    Wish I had joined before I got myself in this pickle
