Lithops aucampiae ssp. aucampiae v. aucampiae C366

Re-potting the survivors:

After fighting spider mites with an out-of-soil quarantine I re-potted my plants. I chose more dense arrays of plants in the pot than before.

Here I put only Lithops aucampiae together.

 

Lithops are extremely succulent plants originating from the semi-deserts of southern Africa. Their plant body rests under ground, while on top they have transparent windows to let sunlight in for photosynthesis. A camouflage pattern on the windows lets them appear more or less like a pair of pebblestones, so hungry animals may hardly find them. I like them because they look like ornamented knobs or gemstones.

Be aware that sites from the southern hemisphere

have a six-month-shift in the description of the

annual lithops growing cycle.

Lithops aucampiae ssp. aucampiae 'Jackson´s Jade'

My first Lithops and the one that more years lived, but one day... pufffff (roten)

 

Now I only have one (unidentified) "living stone"...

Theres a few scratches, widening up, because my other half dropped it.

 

Anyways, it's the best Lithop I've ever seen and it's a shame that it might die.

Probably i like more the pot than the Lithops :)
