Lithops salicola C353
|
|
L. salicola is an easy species. Some people consider it
one of the most tolerant of
overwatering. It is not infrequent that
seedlings grow up spontaneously in the potting container at the
base of
the mother plant.
This plant
clumps up quickly (Desmond Cole recorded a plant with
more than 350 heads), and they can get to be up to 25cm across
(takes decades) and it is often seen in large mounds at shows because it
is relatively easy to manage like that where many other
species would
quickly kill themselves.
Description: Truncate profile, obscurely translucent broad jagged or
finely netted to almost uniform dark greendull, grey-green, brown or
dark brown/violet, windows, flowers white in autumn.

Cultivation: After flowering in the
autumn and extending through
winter the plant doesn’t need
watering, but they extracts
water from the outer
succulent leaves, allowing them to
shrivel away, relocating water to the rest of the plant and to the
new leaves that form during this period. This plant is best for a well
lit area (Bright
shade to
full sun). Water sparingly only when warm, no water when cold.
