These look so calm and friendly. Maybe I should get into succulents. Anyone got quick advice?

You can pack them together fairly closely. Succulents don't mind being a bit crowded. Water them when the soil is dry. Make sure there is good drainage in the soil and a hole in the bottom of the pot so the roots don't rot out. Finally, don't feel too bad if you kill a couple. It takes time to figure it out!

Aww :(
Thanks, though. Appreciate it.
So pretty 🤩
Those look like AI pics.
Man I hate what AI is doing to destroy reality and trust
Well, they are heavily edited for sure. Lithops aren't that bright. They survive by looking like rocks, not candy lmao.
But they are fun to grow (I have several)
I have one of the living stones t the bottom right in flower pot. Sadly it grows really weird and doesn't look so cool anymore then..
I had some nice ones but my cat ate them. I suppose they feel really good to chew
It's badly etoliated (stretching to get more sun) and appears to be in a soil with too much organic matter.
The poor dear needs heaps more sun, and soil that doesn't retain much, if any water.
(I have a few lithops. I'm shocked yours is still alive!)
Haha thank you! It seems to be a very resistant plant. I guess it could be a good idea to put it into a more sandy soil. Regarding the sun - it doesn't really strech towards the window, it just seems to have no real grip in the soil and just "lays down".
Last pannel is penis, brains & butts. Change my mind.
Top right definitely isn't Frizzle Sizzle:
I think it's actually Albuca concordiana:
