Technical and agronomic details:
Botanical Name: Lithops verruculosa
Seed Quantity: 10 seeds per pack
Plant Type and Cultivation Cycle: Perennial succulent, extremely slow-growing succulent plant, belonging to the "living stones" genus.
Plant Height: Very low, typically 1-3 cm above ground level, blending in perfectly with its surroundings.
Uses: Primarily ornamental. Perfect for terrariums, miniature rock gardens, succulent collections, and as a statement piece for interior or office decor.
Organoleptic Characteristics: The plant's "bodies" are composed of two fleshy, joined leaves that form a stone-like shape. Their color ranges from gray-green to reddish-brown, with distinctive transparent windows on the upper surface and a surface characterized by small "warts" or bumps. The flowers, which appear in autumn or early winter, are daisy-like, bright yellow or white, and emerge from the central fissure of the plant's body.
Hardiness and Origin: Native to the desert and semi-desert regions of South Africa and Namibia. Extremely drought-resistant, but frost-intolerant. Requires protection from subzero temperatures.
Sowing Period: Ideal in spring or early summer, when temperatures remain constant and mild.
Optimal Germination Conditions: Requires a constant temperature between 18-25°C. The substrate must be well-drained and kept moist (but not soggy) with light misting. Requires indirect but bright light for the initial stages of germination.
Soil Type: A specific substrate for succulents and cacti is essential, one that is extremely porous and well-draining. An optimal mix includes coarse sand, pumice, perlite, and a small amount of organic soil.
Recommended Exposure: Full sun or very bright light. During the hottest hours of the summer sun, especially for young seedlings, light shade is recommended to avoid sunburn.
Germination times: Variable and sometimes slow, generally from 7 days to 6 weeks or more, requiring patience and consistency in care.
Pot or Ground Cultivation: Pot cultivation is highly recommended to better control substrate and irrigation conditions, which are essential for the survival of Lithops. Ground cultivation is only possible in extremely arid and hot climates with perfect drainage.
Quality Specifications: Non-GMO (non-genetically modified) seeds, sourced from varieties selected to ensure genetic purity and conformity. High germination rates are guaranteed if sowing conditions are strictly followed.
