Thompson and Morgan Lithops species Mix 8.5cm

Discover the captivating world of Lithops Species Mix, the ultimate marvels of mimicry. Hailing from southern Africa, these extraordinary plants have evolved intricate camouflage patterns that deceive even the keenest eyes. Resembling pebbles, they skilfully blend into their surroundings to escape the attention of grazing animals. What makes Lithops truly remarkable is their ability to thrive in harsh, arid environments. Their bulbous leaves store precious water, allowing them to withstand long periods of drought. With their low water requirements, Lithops are the perfect choice for water-conscious plant enthusiasts. Supplied as 1 x 8.5cm Nursery Pot How to Grow Here are simple instructions for each area of growing Lithops: Watering: Water sparingly during active growth (May to October), allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Cease all watering during the winter dormancy period (from October to late spring) to keep the plants completely dry. Resume watering in late spring (around May) when the old pair of leaves has withered away and new leaves are well developed. Lighting: Place the Lithops in a very bright location, preferably a south or east-facing windowsill. Soil and Potting: Use well-draining cactus compost to provide optimal growing conditions for Lithops. Temperature: Keep the Lithops in a warm environment, avoiding extreme temperature fluctuations. Maintenance: Avoid overwatering, as it may cause the plants to rot. Ensure the soil dries out completely between waterings. Remove any dead leaves or debris around the plants to maintain their cleanliness and health. With these simple instructions, you can successfully grow and care for your Lithops, ensuring their longevity and natural beauty.
