The cultivation of Lithops in pots required delicate care to avoid miscarriage of the incubating Elf Bugs, but Liszt did not pay too much attention to this. The reason was simple, Lithops did not produce Magic Potions or any other yield.
They were simply ornamental plants, at most, complemented by Cordyceps, which could enhance the quality of ordinary Lithops and fetch a slightly higher price when sold as potted plants. Just like the Venus flytraps he raised around the castle to catch flies, they were nice to look at but not practical.
What he now valued more were the two Tulip Bugs awaiting fertilization—the cultivation of the Black Tulip was inseparable from the Tulip Bug.
