🔍 Known as Living Stones. Succulent with two lobes that are fleshy, stone-like leaves. Lithops psudotruncatella is a relatively large species within the genus when mature. It has a flat or slightly convex truncated profile and, when viewed from above, has an elliptical, reniform shape. Smooth to the touch with a very deep central fissure. Large, open, translucent greenish-gray windows. Gray or cream colors on the body with green or brown mottling.
📍 Endemic to an area known as the Khomas Highlands in Namibia. Its reference locality is Groot Hub at an altitude of 1,693 meters. It is a region with scarce rainfall, mainly in the summer months. It belongs to the Aizoaceae family.
🌡️USDA ZONE 8a - 10a. Can tolerate frost. The minimum recommended temperature is -7ºC. In winter, when cultivated in pots, they should be kept with dry substrate.
☀️For healthy, stress-free growth, it needs partial shade or a PAR radiation intensity of 20 to 25 moles of photons daily.
🌸 Central yellow flowers. The earliest to bloom. Begins in August.
💧Watering begins in spring as soon as the plant undergoes its annual shedding and the old leaves are reabsorbed. When the high temperatures of mid-summer 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 encouraged with very moderate, low-nitrogen fertilization, providing especially assimilable potassium and calcium, such as our Desert CHOICE® Aizoaceae (NPK (Ca-Mg) 6–5–15 (3–3)).
