Technical and agronomic details:
Botanical name: Lithops werneri
Seed Quantity: 10 seeds per pack, carefully selected and packaged to maximize viability.
Plant type: Perennial succulent, slow-growing and long-lived for several years. It belongs to the Aizoaceae family, which is characterized by its extraordinary ability to camouflage itself.
Crop cycle: Slow but steady development, with seasonal rest periods that replicate its natural environment.
Plant height: Extremely compact, with mature specimens typically reaching 1-3cm in diameter, remaining almost at ground level.
Uses: Primarily as an indoor ornamental, collectible plant, ideal for terrariums, miniature rock gardens, or compositions with other succulents and cacti. It has no culinary or medicinal uses.
Organoleptic characteristics: The plant's body is fleshy, bilobed, resembling two small stones fused together. It has a flat or slightly convex upper surface, often featuring translucent "windows" and complex color patterns (from gray-green to reddish-brown) that allow it to blend perfectly into its rocky environment. Autumn flowering produces small, daisy-like flowers, usually yellow, that emerge from the central fissure.
Hardiness and Origin: A highly resilient species in arid environments, native to the semi-desert regions of South Africa and Namibia. It requires specific conditions but is robust once established.
Sowing period: Ideal in spring (March-May) or early autumn (September-October), when temperatures are stable and mild.
Optimal conditions for germination: Requires a specific succulent substrate (well-drained and low in organic matter), constant humidity (but not waterlogging), and indirect but bright light. The ideal temperature for germination is between 20°C and 25°C. It is recommended to sow in containers with lids to maintain humidity.
Soil type: A well-draining substrate is essential, composed of aggregates such as pumice, volcanic lapilli, coarse sand, and a small amount of cactus soil. Avoid heavy, peat-rich soils.
Recommended exposure: Full sun or very bright, filtered light for mature plants. Young seedlings benefit from indirect but bright light. Avoid direct sun during the hottest hours of summer until the plants are well established.
Germination time: Varies from 5 to 30 days, sometimes even longer, depending on environmental conditions and the variety. Patience is a virtue when growing Lithops.
Pot or ground cultivation: Pot cultivation is preferred, given the need for precise control over substrate and irrigation. Open ground cultivation is only possible in very dry, hot desert or Mediterranean climates with excellent drainage.
Quality Specifications: Our Lithops werneri seeds are Non-GMO, of a selected variety to guarantee authenticity and desired characteristics, and boast a tested high germination.
