Technical and agronomic details for your cultivation:
Botanical name: Lithops viridis
Seed Quantity: 10 seeds per pack, carefully selected for the highest quality.
Plant type and cultivation cycle: Slow-growing perennial succulent. Its life cycle is characterized by annual moulting cycles, where new leaves emerge from old ones.
Plant height: Living stones are extremely compact, typically reaching 1-3 cm in height and a similar diameter per individual, depending on growing conditions.
Uses: A collectible ornamental plant, ideal for miniature gardens, open terrariums, desert arrangements, or as an attractive single potted specimen.
Organoleptic characteristics: Characterized by a fleshy, bilobed body with a central fissure from which the flowers emerge. The color is predominantly light green or gray-green, often with surface patterns that mimic the texture of the stones in their natural habitat. The flowers are solitary, a vivid yellow, and typically appear in autumn or early winter.
Resistance and Origin: Native to the arid and rocky regions of South Africa, it is extremely drought-resistant but sensitive to frost and excessive humidity, which can cause rot.
Sowing period: Recommended in spring or early summer, when ambient temperatures are stable and within the ideal range for germination.
Optimal conditions for germination: It requires an extremely draining and sterile substrate (e.g. coarse sand, perlite, fine pumice), kept constantly moist but not saturated by misting or watering from below, in a warm environment (20-28°C) and with indirect but bright light.
Soil type: A specific substrate for cacti and succulents is essential, with very high drainage, porous and with a low organic matter content.
Recommended location: Prefers a bright location with several hours of direct sunlight, especially in the morning. Protect from the scorching summer afternoon sun, which can burn the leaves.
Germination Time: Lithops seeds can germinate in 7 days to several weeks (up to 4-6 weeks), depending on environmental conditions, temperature, and humidity maintenance.
Pot or ground cultivation: Ideal for pot cultivation, where you can precisely control the substrate, watering, and exposure. Growing in the ground is only possible in very specific desert climates that replicate their natural environment.
Quality Specifications: Our Lithops viridis succulent seeds are Non-GMO, selected and tested to ensure high germination, giving you the best chance of success in your cultivation.
