About Lithops hookeri v. hookeri

Lithops hookeri v. hookeri is a living stone plant characterized by paired leaves, typically in shades of grey-green or grey-brown, with uneven ridges and spots. The fleshy leaves have shallow fissures between them. This plant usually maintains a discreet appearance during its growth period, with its color and patterns blending with the surrounding rocks and sand grains. Yellow flowers emerge from the fissures between the leaves in autumn.

How to care for Lithops hookeri v. hookeri

Sun/Temperature: Ensure Lithops hookeri v. hookeri receives ample sunlight, avoiding excessive direct sunlight in summer. They can tolerate full sun during other seasons. They prefer warm climates, with temperatures ideally ranging from 60-80°F. Protect them from cold temperatures in winter by considering indoor placement.

Soil/Watering: Choose well-draining mineral soil to prevent root rot. Watering should be done after the soil dries out to simulate their natural growing conditions. Lithops enter a dormant state during summer and require minimal watering.

Pot: Select pots with good ventilation and ensure they have drainage holes at the bottom. Using smaller pots that match their miniature shape and charming demeanor is recommended.

Propagation: Lithops hookeri v. hookeri can be propagated by seeds or navision.

Molting Period: Lithops hookeri v. hookeri enters a molting period after the growing season, during which watering frequency should be reduced. During molting, the plant extracts moisture from the outer leaves to nourish the new growth until the old leaves wither entirely away. Therefore, you can stop watering during winter.
