Technical and agronomic details:
Botanical name: Lithops bromfieldii (L. Bolus ex AT Johnson)
Seed quantity: 10 seeds per pack, carefully selected.
Plant Type and Cultivation Cycle: A perennial succulent plant, extremely slow-growing, belonging to the Aizoaceae family. Characterized by a summer dormant cycle and active growth in autumn-spring.
Plant height: Very compact, generally reaching 1-3 cm in height and diameter.
Uses: Ideal for ornamental growing in bright interiors, specialized succulent collections, protected rock gardens in suitable climates, terrariums, and desert arrangements. It is not an aromatic herb or a consumable plant.
Morphological characteristics: "Living stones" have two fused leaves that form a single, fleshy body, with a flat or slightly convex upper surface characterized by intricate translucent "windows" and unique patterns. Colors range from gray-green to reddish-brown, with stone-like hues. It produces small, daisy-shaped flowers, usually yellow or white, that appear in autumn from the centers of the leaves.
Hardiness and Origin: Native to the arid regions of southern Africa (Botswana, Namibia, South Africa). Requires dry conditions and mild temperatures; does not tolerate frost.
Sowing time: The ideal time for sowing is spring or early summer, when ambient temperatures are constant and mild.
Optimal conditions for germination: It requires a constant temperature between 20°C and 25°C, high environmental humidity (covering the seed tray) but without water stagnation, and indirect or filtered light.
Soil type: A highly draining substrate specifically for succulents and cacti is essential. It consists of a mixture of coarse sand, perlite, pumice, volcanic lapilli, and a small amount of peat moss or general-purpose soil. The pH should be neutral or slightly acidic.
Recommended exposure: Full sunlight, but it's best to protect young seedlings from the hottest hours of direct summer sun. Good ventilation is crucial.
Germination times: Times can vary greatly, from a few days to several weeks (typically 2-6 weeks), depending on environmental conditions and the freshness of the seeds.
Pot or ground cultivation: Pot cultivation is highly recommended to precisely control drainage and protection. Ground cultivation is only possible in extremely arid and temperate climates with suitable soil.
Quality Specifications: Non-GMO (non-genetically modified) seeds, from a variety selected to ensure authenticity and optimal characteristics, with a guarantee of high germination.
