Botanical Name: Lithops salicola Quantity of Seeds: 10 seeds Plant Type and Growth Cycle: A perennial succulent plant, known for its longevity when grown in optimal conditions. Native to the arid regions of southern Africa, it adapts to slow, steady growth cycles. Plant Height: Generally remains very compact, reaching a height of about 1-3 cm above the substrate level, making it perfect for small spaces. Uses: Ideal as an ornamental plant for the home, office, terrariums, miniature rock gardens, or as a collector's item for rare plant lovers. Perfect for decorating windowsills, desks, or well-lit bookcases. Morphological Aspects: Characterized by two fleshy, joined leaves that form a compact, pebble-like body. The upper surface often has translucent "windows" that allow light to reach the interior of the plant. Coloration ranges from gray-green to brown, with unique shades and patterns for each specimen. It produces small, showy flowers, typically yellow or white, that emerge from the central fissure, usually in autumn. Resistance and Origin: Extremely resistant to drought and harsh environmental conditions. Our seeds come from carefully selected varieties to guarantee authenticity and vigor, tested to ensure the highest quality. Sowing Period: Sowing is recommended in spring or early summer, when ambient temperatures are constant and favorable for germination. Optimal Germination Conditions: Requires a very well-drained and sterilized substrate. Maintain constant but not excessive humidity during the germination phase. The ideal temperature is between 20°C and 25°C. Requires indirect but abundant light from sowing. Soil Type: Requires a specific mix for succulents and cacti, with a high percentage of inert materials such as pumice, lapilli, perlite, or coarse sand, to ensure excellent drainage and prevent waterlogging. The pH should be neutral or slightly acidic. Recommended Exposure: Prefers full sun or very bright, direct light for at least 4-6 hours a day. It's advisable to protect it from the scorching sun during the hottest hours of summer to avoid sunburn. Germination Time: Germination times can vary greatly, from 7 days to 4 weeks or more, depending on growing conditions and the specific strain. Patience is key to successful Lithops cultivation. Pot or Ground Cultivation: Ideal for growing in pots, even small ones, given its slow growth. Growing in the ground is only possible in desert or very arid climates, with extremely well-draining soil and protection from winter humidity.
