Technical and agronomic details: Botanical name: Lithops divergens Seed quantity: 10 seeds Plant type and growing cycle: Slow-growing perennial succulent belonging to the Aizoaceae family. The growing cycle is long, with the plant developing progressively over the years. Plant Height: Mature plants typically reach a height of about 2-3 cm above the substrate level, maintaining a compact, prostrate shape. Uses: Ideal as collectible ornamentals, perfect for rock gardens in mild climates, excellent for succulent terrariums, and ideal for indoor gardening on well-lit windowsills or shelves. Tasting Notes: Characterized by two fleshy, almost fused leaves that form a bilobed body with a central fissure. The color is distinctive, typically bluish-green with translucent areas and darker windows that allow light to penetrate the leaf. Flowering occurs in autumn or early winter, with small, bright yellow flowers emerging from the central fissure. Hardiness and Origin: Native to the desert and semi-desert regions of South Africa. Extremely drought-resistant, but sensitive to frost and excessive humidity. Requires protection from low temperatures. Sowing period: Sowing is recommended in spring (March-May) or early autumn (September-October), when temperatures are stable and mild, favoring better germination. Optimal conditions for germination: Requires an extremely well-drained and sterile substrate (specific for succulents/cacti), constant but not excessive humidity for the first few weeks (achieved by covering with plastic wrap), and indirect light. The ideal temperature for germination is between 20°C and 25°C. Soil type: Specific substrate for cacti and succulents, highly mineral and porous, composed of a mixture of pumice, lapilli, coarse sand, and a small amount of potting soil. Drainage is crucial. Recommended exposure: It prefers full light exposure, but it is essential to protect it from direct, scorching sunlight during the hottest hours of the day, especially in the summer months, to avoid sunburn. Germination times: Times can vary greatly, from a few days to several weeks (generally between 3 and 14 days under ideal conditions), depending on environmental conditions and the variety. Pot or open ground cultivation: Given their small size and specific drainage and protection needs, Lithops divergens are almost exclusively grown in pots.
