Description
Lithops hallii var. hallii (Mesembryanthemaceae) The plants form an easy twin head and even bigger clumps. The leaf pairs are broadly oval from the top and more truncate from the side. They are pale to dark brown or greyish-brown. The flowers are white and appear in late autumn. Sowing: The small seeds can be sown in pots of fine, well-drained sand, any time during the summer months when temperatures are warm. Cover the seeds with a very fine layer of grit and water from below with a fungicide to prevent damping off. For the first 3-4 days cover the pots with a sheet of glass/clear perspex to keep the humidity levels high. Remove the glass and replace it with light shadecloth and mist once or twice a day for the next two weeks after which most seeds should have germinated. From then on mistings can be reduced to every second and then every third day as the little plants grow. Locality: Strydenburg. Harvest: December 2012
