Technical details:
Botanical name: Lithops comptonii
Seed Quantity: 10 seeds per pack
Plant type: Perennial succulent belonging to the Aizoaceae family. Characterized by a slow but long-lived life cycle.
Plant height: Extremely compact, generally developing 1-3 cm in diameter per pair of leaves.
Uses: Ornamental plant of great collectible value, ideal for rock gardens in desert climates, terrariums, minimalist compositions and as an attractive houseplant or office plant.
Sensory characteristics: The fleshy, fused "leaves" form a single body, often with a central fissure. Color ranges from gray-green to purplish-brown, with intricate translucent windows on the upper surface that allow light to reach the interior of the plant. Autumn blooms with yellow, daisy-like flowers emerging from the fissure.
Hardiness and Origin: Native to the arid regions of South Africa, it is extremely drought-resistant but extremely sensitive to overwatering and low temperatures. It requires warm, bright environments.
Sowing period: Preferably in spring or summer (March-August in the northern hemisphere), when ambient temperatures are consistently between 20°C and 30°C.
Optimal germination conditions: Requires a specific substrate for succulents and cacti, well-drained and mineral-rich (e.g., pumice, lapilli, coarse sand, with a small amount of peat or humus). Keep the substrate constantly moist but not wet during germination, with high ambient humidity.
Soil type: A highly draining and porous substrate is essential, with a predominance of inert components (80-90%) such as pumice, volcanic lapilli, coarse river sand, and fine gravel. Avoid compacted and peat-rich soils.
Recommended exposure: Full, indirect sunlight or bright artificial light (LED grow lights). Protect from direct, scorching sunlight during the hottest hours of the day, especially young seedlings.
Germination times: Variable, usually 2 to 6 weeks, but can be extended depending on environmental conditions.
Pot or ground cultivation: Easy pot cultivation is the best solution in most climates, allowing for optimal control over growing conditions. Open ground cultivation is only possible in suitable desert climates.
Quality Specifications: The organic garden seeds (although they are ornamental plants, the philosophy extends to naturalness) are Non-GMO (not genetically modified), come from a variety selected to guarantee their purity and the desired aesthetic characteristics, and have been tested to ensure high germination.
