Technical and agronomic details:
Botanical name: Lithops olivacea
Seed Quantity: 10 seeds per pack
Plant type: Slow-growing perennial succulent. It undergoes an annual molting cycle, in which new leaves form inside the old ones.
Plant height: Extremely compact, typically 1-3 cm above ground level, mimicking the rocky environment from which it comes.
Uses: Ideal as an ornamental indoor plant, for desert terrariums, miniature gardens, or as a collector's item. Perfect for those who grow succulents in pots.
Organoleptic characteristics: Characterized by fleshy, bilobed bodies ranging in color from olive green to reddish brown, often with intricate veining and translucent "windows" on the upper surface that allow light to reach the interior of the plant. Produces small yellow or white flowers, typically in autumn.
Hardiness and Origin: Native to the arid regions of South Africa and Namibia. Requires protection from frost and temperatures above 5°C. Extremely drought-resistant.
Sowing period: Preferably in spring or early autumn to optimize light and temperature conditions.
Optimal conditions for germination: Requires a constant temperature of 20-25°C and high but not stagnant humidity in the first few days after sowing. Intense, indirect light is crucial from the start.
Soil Type: An extremely well-draining soil, specifically designed for succulents, or a mix of pumice, perlite, coarse sand, and a small amount of organic soil, is essential. The pH should be neutral or slightly acidic.
Recommended exposure: Full morning sun or bright, filtered light for most of the day. Ideal for indoor cultivation under LED grow lights.
Germination times: Variable, generally 1 to 4 weeks, depending on environmental conditions and the freshness of the succulent seeds.
Cultivation: Mainly in pots, given their nature and specific drainage and thermal protection needs.
Quality Specifications: Non-GMO seeds, carefully selected for varietal purity and with guaranteed high germination.
