Technical details: Botanical Name: Lithops karasmontana Seed Quantity: 10 seeds selected to ensure maximum quality and vitality. Plant Type and Cultivation Cycle: Slow-growing perennial succulent belonging to the Aizoaceae family, known for its longevity and adaptation to arid environments. Plant Height: Generally maintains a compact size of 1-3 cm above ground level, making it perfect for small spaces. Uses: Ideal as a decorative and collectible plant, excellent for terrariums, miniature rock gardens, succulent arrangements, or as a charming focal point on windowsills and desks in bright indoor settings. Characteristics: Characterized by a fleshy, bilobed body that perfectly mimics the appearance of rocks or stones. Colors range from gray to reddish-brown, enriched by complex vein patterns and translucent windows on the surface. In autumn, it produces small yellow or white flowers that emerge from the central fissure, adding a delicate touch of color. Hardiness and Origin: Native to the arid regions of southern Africa (Namibia, South Africa), it is extremely drought-resistant and heat tolerant. It is sensitive to frost, requiring protection in cold climates. Sowing Period: Sowing is recommended in spring (March-May) or late summer/early autumn (September-October), periods in which temperatures are mild and stable, favoring better seed germination. Optimal Germination Conditions: Requires a constant temperature between 18-25°C, high but well-controlled humidity, and indirect light. A well-drained substrate is essential to prevent rot. Soil Type: Prefers a specific substrate for succulents and cacti, extremely porous and with excellent drainage. A mix with a high percentage of aggregates such as pumice, volcanic lapilli, perlite, or coarse sand is recommended, for a neutral or slightly acidic pH. Recommended location: Requires full sun or bright partial shade. If grown indoors, place it near a bright window. Protect from direct sunlight, which is at its strongest during the midsummer hours, to avoid sunburn. Germination Time: Germination times can vary greatly, from 7 days to 4 weeks, and in some cases even longer, depending on environmental conditions and the freshness of the seeds. Patience is a virtue with "Living Stones." Pot or Ground Cultivation: Ideal for pot cultivation, especially in non-Mediterranean climates, where it can be easily protected from the cold. Open-ground cultivation is possible only in rock gardens with very mild climates and impeccable drainage. Quality Specifications: We offer Non-GMO (non-genetically modified) seeds, selected to ensure high germination and a reliable source, for your peace of mind and the success of your grow.
