Technical details:
Botanical name: Lithops aucampiae
Seed quantity: 10 seeds
Plant type: Perennial succulent, known for its incredible camouflage with its surroundings.
Crop cycle: Slow-growing plant, with a multi-year life cycle if grown correctly.
Plant Height: Each Lithops body typically reaches 2-3 cm in diameter and height.
Uses: Ideal for ornamental growing in pots, terrariums, or as part of succulent and rare plant collections. Adds an element of surprise and curiosity to any interior.
Tasting Notes: Characterized by fleshy, bilobed bodies with a flat or slightly convex upper surface that mimics stones and pebbles. Colors range from reddish-brown to gray-green, often with complex patterns, translucent windows, and spots that aid photosynthesis. The bright yellow flowers emerge from the central fissure, usually in autumn.
Hardiness and Origin: Native to the arid regions of South Africa, it is extremely drought-tolerant. It requires protection from frost and excessive moisture to thrive.
Sowing time: Sowing can be done at any time of the year in a controlled environment (e.g. indoors), but is optimal in spring or early summer to take advantage of natural light.
Optimal conditions for germination: An extremely draining succulent-specific substrate (e.g. pumice, coarse sand, perlite), a constant temperature between 20-25°C, high initial humidity (cover the pot) without stagnation, and indirect or filtered light.
Soil type: Highly mineral and porous substrate, with a neutral or slightly acidic pH, specifically formulated for cacti and other succulents. Avoid soils rich in peat or organic matter.
Recommended exposure: Full sun or very bright partial shade. In regions with intense summer sun, light protection during the hottest hours of the day is recommended.
Germination time: Generally 5 days to 3 weeks, but some seeds may take longer. Patience is key.
Pot or open ground cultivation: Pot cultivation is highly recommended to allow for precise control of the substrate, humidity, and watering conditions, which are essential for the health of Lithops.
Quality Specifications: Non-GMO seeds, from strains selected for genetic purity and desirable characteristics, with a high germination guarantee to maximize your success.
