Technical details for your cultivation:
Botanical name: Lithops dinteri
Seed quantity: 10 seeds, selected to ensure maximum vitality.
Plant type and growing cycle: Perennial succulent, slow-growing, with a well-defined growth and dormancy cycle that follows the seasons.
Plant height: Extremely compact, typically no higher than 1-3 cm above ground level.
Uses: Ideal as a collectible ornamental plant, perfect for miniature gardens, open terrariums, succulent arrangements and as a focal point for its camouflage aesthetic and unexpected blooms.
Organoleptic characteristics (description): The succulent, bilobed bodies range in color from gray-green to reddish or brownish, often with complex patterns and translucent "windows" on the upper surface that allow light to reach the internal photosynthetic parts. In autumn or early winter, a solitary, bright yellow flower with a delicate scent emerges from the central fissure.
Hardiness and Origin: Extremely drought-tolerant. Requires protection from frost and excessive moisture. Native to the arid desert regions of southern Africa (mainly Namibia and South Africa).
Sowing period: Preferably in spring or early summer, when temperatures stabilize between 20°C and 25°C, to optimize germination and subsequent development.
Optimal germination conditions: A constant temperature between 20-25°C, high initial humidity (cover the tray with plastic wrap), followed by gradual reduction to prevent rot. Good ventilation is essential.
Soil type: A highly draining substrate, specifically for cacti and succulents, with a high percentage of aggregates (pumice, lapilli, perlite, coarse sand) is essential. The pH should be neutral or slightly acidic.
Recommended exposure: Full direct sunlight for at least 4-6 hours a day, with protection during the hottest hours of summer midday, especially in Mediterranean climates, to avoid sunburn.
Germination time: Generally 7 to 30 days, but some seeds may take longer. Our high germination guarantee ensures the best chance of success.
Cultivation: Ideal for growing in pots, even small and shallow ones, which allows for precise control of the substrate and irrigation. Not suitable for open ground in humid or frost-prone climates.
Quality Specifications: Non-GMO (non-genetically modified) seeds, from a variety selected to guarantee the authenticity and distinctive characteristics of Lithops dinteri. Quality controls ensure high germination rates, facilitating your rewarding growing project.
