Lithops 3597
New plants:
I bougt some other species of Lithops at the gardening store to fill up two spare pots that remained empty after the spider mite infestation losses. I cleaned the plants thoroughly before potting them because I do not want to possibly introduce new plant pests. The big round ones are amazing, I never saw them before.
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.
DO NOT MISS:
Be aware that sites from the southern hemisphere
have a six-month-shift in the description of the
annual lithops growing cycle.
