€21,20
🔍 Known as Living Stones. Succulent with two lobes that are fleshy, "stone-like" leaves. Lithops localis is a medium-sized species within the genus. It has a convex heart-shaped profile and, from a top view, is broadly elliptical, almost round. Smooth to the touch with a fairly deep central fissure. Small windows with numerous translucent green dots. Colors vary widely across the entire body.
📍 Distributed in a wide geographical strip from the southern Great Karoo to the Eastern Cape province in South Africa. Its reference localities range from Laingsburg to Steytlerville. It is an opportunistic species. It belongs to the family Aizoaceae.
🌡️USDA ZONE 8a - 10a. Can tolerate frost. The recommended minimum temperature is -7ºC. In winter, when cultivated 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 yellow flowers. Blooms in October.
💧Watering begins in spring as soon as the plant sheds its old leaves, and they are reabsorbed. When high summer temperatures arrive between July and August, they enter aestivation 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, low-nitrogen fertilization, providing especially potassium and assimilable calcium, like our Desert CHOICE® Aizoaceae (NPK (Ca-Mg) 6–5–15 (3–3)).
