€15,90
🔍 Known as Living Stones. A succulent with two lobes that are fleshy, "stone-like" leaves. Lithops otzeniana is a medium-sized species within the genus. It has a truncated heart-shaped profile and an elliptical, symmetrical shape when viewed from above. The lobes are like two quite divergent crescent moons. Smooth to the touch with a very deep central fissure. Large, open, translucent olive-green windows. Colors vary from light gray, cream, green, or bluish.
📍 Distributed in a very small area in the Northern Cape province of South Africa. Its reference locality is the Blackfontein farm. It lives at altitudes of 1,000 to 1,350 meters. It is a region with regular rainfall between the autumn and winter months. It belongs to the family Aizoaceae.
🌡️ USDA ZONE 8a - 10a. Can tolerate frost. The recommended minimum temperature is -7ºC. In winter, when growing in pots, the substrate should remain dry.
☀️ For healthy, stress-free growth, it needs partial shade or a PAR radiation intensity of 20 to 22 moles of photons daily.
🌸 Large central flowers, yellow with a white throat. Blooms in late September.
💧 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 resumes 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 promoted with a very moderate and low-nitrogen fertilization, providing especially potassium and assimilable calcium, such as our Desert CHOICE® Aizoaceae (NPK (Ca-Mg) 6–5–15 (3–3)).
📏 This is an inimitable xerophyte cultivated in Madrid in a technological square pot and with substrate activated with mycorrhizal fungi.
