Lithops julii fulleri C171

Lithops julii fulleri C171. The body is cone-shaped, separated by a 5-10 mm deep fissure with (usually) conjunct lobes, usually whitish-grey to dark grey but very variable in color, some specimens being opaque whitish-grey and almost uniform in color, others opaque but strongly reticulated with fine impressed brown markings, yet others with largely open obscurely translucent windows. The profile is truncate, the tops are flat to slightly convex. Face slightly reniform. 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 shade cloth and mist once or twice a day for the next two weeks after which most seeds should have germinated. From then on misting can be reduced to every second and then every third day as the little plants grow.  Locality: Upington. Harvest: November 2023
