About Lithops Variedad
Lithops Variedad is one of the most distinctive mesembryanthemums in the Aizoaceae family. Its origin is in South Africa and Namibia. It is characterized by a pair of fused leaves with the appearance of stones, an evolutionary adaptation that makes it a unique piece in the world of succulents.
At Succulentae we grow every Lithops Variedad directly in our nursery in southeastern Spain, in conditions of intense sun, low humidity and mineral substrate that replicate its natural habitat. This produces stronger specimens, with intense coloration and compact form, ready to join your collection.
