€15,90
🔍 Highly valued cultivar. Known as Living Stones. Succulent with two fleshy leaves that look like "stones". Lithops lesliei is a relatively large species within the genus. It has a flat truncated profile and, when viewed from above, has an elliptical, reniform shape. Smooth to the touch and with a shallow central fissure. Partially closed greenish windows. Numerous mini-windows, which distinguishes it from Lithops aucampie. Very variable colors within the species.
📍 Distributed throughout the Vaal Basin. Its reference locality is Kimberley. Between the border north of South Africa and south of Botswana. It is a fairly rainy region. In this region, it rains mainly in spring. It belongs to the family Aizoaceae.
🌡️USDA ZONE 8a - 10a. It can tolerate light frosts. The recommended minimum temperature is -7ºC. In winter, the substrate must remain dry.
☀️For healthy, stress-free growth, it needs partial shade or a PAR radiation intensity of 20 to 25 moles of photons daily.
🌸 Large, central yellow flowers. It blooms between September and November.
💧Watering begins in spring as soon as the plant sheds its old leaves and the old leaves are reabsorbed. When high summer temperatures arrive in July and August, they enter estivation, and watering should be stopped. Watering restarts in September and continues until the end of the flowering period. In November, watering is completely stopped to facilitate winter dormancy. Always let the substrate dry between waterings.
🚀 Nutrition: Its growth can be favored with very moderate and low-nitrogen fertilization, especially providing potassium and assimilable calcium, such as our Desert CHOICE® Aizoaceae (NPK (Ca-Mg) 6–5–15 (3–3)).
