€15,90
🔍 Known as Living Stones. A succulent with two lobes that are fleshy leaves with a "stone" appearance. Lithops marmorata is a relatively large species within the genus. It has a heart-shaped, truncated profile with a flat or slightly convex apex, and when viewed from above, it is broadly elliptical, almost round, sometimes kidney-shaped. Soft to the touch with a very deep central fissure. Large, open, translucent grey-green windows. Colors with mottling or marbling. This Cole number is historically associated with Lithops framesii.
📍 Distributed throughout the Northern Cape province and in elevated areas of Namaqualand and Bushmanland in South Africa. Its reference locality is Springvok. It lives at altitudes of 1,000 to 1,350 meters. It is a region with regular rainfall between the autumn-winter months. It belongs to the family Aizoaceae.
🌡️USDA ZONE 8a - 10a. Can tolerate frost. The minimum recommended temperature is -7ºC. In winter, when grown in pots, the substrate should remain dry.
☀️For healthy, stress-free growth, it needs partial shade or a PAR radiation intensity between 20 and 25 moles of photons daily.
🌸 Large central white flowers. Blooms between September and October.
💧Watering begins in spring as soon as the plant undergoes its annual molt and the old leaves are reabsorbed. When high summer temperatures arrive between 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 out between waterings.
🚀 Nutrition: Its growth can be favored by a very moderate and low-nitrogen fertilization, especially providing potassium and assimilable calcium, like our Desert CHOICE® Aizoaceae (NPK (Ca-Mg) 6–5–15 (3–3)).
