Technical details: Botanical name: Lithops dendritica Seed quantity: 10 seeds Plant type: Perennial succulent, carpet plant, known as "living stone". Cultivation Cycle: Extremely slow growing and long-lived. It has a well-defined growth and dormancy cycle that requires attention. Plant height: Typically reaches a height of only 2-5 cm, remaining almost at ground level. Uses: Indoor ornamental plant, ideal for succulent collectors, dry terrariums, protected rock gardens in warm climates, or as a unique decorative element on windowsills and desks. Tasting Notes: Lithops dendritica are characterized by fleshy, bilobed bodies, often resembling small stones. The upper surface features translucent "windows" and intricate dendritic patterns (resembling a tree or branch) in various shades of gray-green, brown, and reddish. It produces bright yellow flowers, often larger than the plant itself, which appear in autumn. Hardiness and Origin: Extremely drought and heat tolerant, it requires very little water. Native to the desert and semi-desert regions of southern Africa. Sowing period: Ideal in spring (March-May) or early autumn (September-October), when temperatures are mild and constant. Harvest period: Not applicable; the goal is growth and aesthetic appreciation of the plant itself. Optimal conditions for germination: Requires constant temperatures between 20-25°C, high initial humidity (keep the substrate moist but not soaked), and indirect but very bright light. Soil type: Requires an extremely well-draining substrate, specific for succulent plants and cacti, with a very high percentage (70-90%) of inert materials such as pumice, volcanic lapilli, perlite or coarse sand and a minimum of peat or potting soil. Recommended exposure: Full sun or very bright, direct light. In summer, light shade is recommended during the hottest hours to avoid sunburn. Light is essential for maintaining the compact shape and distinctive color. Germination times: Variable, generally from 7 days to 4-6 weeks. Our high germination guarantee maximizes your chances of success. Pot or ground cultivation: Pot cultivation is highly recommended to control drainage and protect the plants from cold and excessive humidity. Open ground cultivation is only possible in very hot, dry desert climates with excellent drainage.
