Botanical name: Lithops gesineae
Seed Quantity: 10 high-quality seeds, carefully selected for their vitality.
Plant Type and Cultivation Cycle: Perennial succulent, collectible plant. Its cultivation cycle is slow, with gradual growth that requires patience and observation, rewarding with its unique beauty.
Plant height: Extremely compact, it generally reaches 2-3 cm in height above ground level, mimicking stones and gravel.
Uses: Excellent as an ornamental indoor plant, for collection in greenhouses or on sunny windowsills, for terrariums or succulent arrangements.
Sensory characteristics: The fleshy "leaves" are fused to form a bilobed body, divided by a central fissure from which the flower emerges. Colors range from gray to yellowish-green, sometimes with reddish or brown hues, embellished with translucent windows and unique skin patterns. The small, daisy-like flowers are usually yellow or white and appear in autumn.
Hardiness and Origin: Native to the arid regions of South Africa and Namibia, it is extremely drought-tolerant. It requires complete protection from frost and excessive moisture.
Sowing period: Sowing is recommended in spring or early autumn, periods in which temperatures are more stable and favorable for germination.
Optimal conditions for germination: A specific substrate for succulents and cacti, well-drained and sterile; constant but not stagnant humidity in the first few days; ideal temperature between 20-25°C and good indirect light.
Soil type: A mineral substrate with excellent drainage, composed of pumice, lapilli, coarse sand and a minimal amount of soil, is essential.
Recommended exposure: It requires plenty of sunlight, but it is essential to protect young seedlings and adult specimens from intense direct sun during the hottest hours, especially in summer.
Germination times: Germination times can vary from 7 days to several weeks, or even months, depending on conditions and the variety. Thanks to our high germination rate, you can expect results within 2-4 weeks under optimal conditions.
Pot or ground cultivation: Pot cultivation is the most practical and recommended option for controlling humidity and substrate conditions. Open ground cultivation is only possible in extremely arid and hot climates, with adequate protection.
Quality Specifications: Non-GMO seeds, from selected varieties, with a high percentage of guaranteed high germination, to ensure the success of your cultivation.
