Litops mix

probuket

Living stones that can bloom. The lithops is a miniature succulent whose shape resembles a pebble: two thick, semi-spherical leaves separated by a narrow slit, from which new leaves and flowers emerge. Coloration varies from gray-green to pinkish; in the mix, some plants are pink. Sizes depend on the variant: pot diameter from 5 to 9 cm, plant height from 3 to 5 cm.

It is best to place the lithops on the brightest windowsill—a south or southwest window will do if shaded during the midday heat. Water rarely and carefully, only when the soil has completely dried out and the lithops itself has slightly wrinkled: during the dormant period, almost no water is given. Overwatering is more dangerous for it than drought.

Such a succulent will be appreciated by collectors and lovers of unusual plants. It is suitable as a gift for a birthday or housewarming.
