€10,60
🔍 Known as Living Stones. A succulent with two fleshy leaves that resemble "stones." Lithops salicola is a relatively large species within its genus. It has a truncated, boat-like profile with a flat or slightly convex apex, and when viewed from above, it has an elliptical, kidney shape. It is smooth to the touch with a shallow central fissure. The windows are completely open and translucent, and it has grayish tones on the main body of the species.
📍 Distributed throughout the area from the Northern Cape province to the Free State in South Africa. Its reference locality is Luckhoff. It lives at altitudes of 1,000 to 1,350 meters. It is a region with regular rainfall during 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 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 white flowers. Blooms between September and November.
💧Watering begins in spring as soon as the plant undergoes its annual molt 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 allow the substrate to dry between waterings.
🚀 Nutrition: Its growth can be encouraged with very moderate and low-nitrogen fertilization, especially providing assimilable potassium and calcium, such as our Desert CHOICE® Aizoaceae (NPK (Ca-Mg) 6–5–15 (3–3)).
