How to care for Lithops Otzeniana Nel

Sun/Temperature: Ensure that Lithops otzeniana Nel receives ample sunlight, but avoid direct solid sunlight during summer. They adapt to warm and dry climates, with suitable temperatures ranging from 60-80°F. They are not cold-resistant, so they should be moved indoors during winter.

Soil/Watering: Select well-draining mineral soil to prevent waterlogging of the roots. To replicate their natural habitat, it’s important to let the soil thoroughly dry before watering again, mirroring the conditions they experience in the wild.

Pot: Choose pots with good ventilation and ensure that there are drainage holes at the bottom. It is recommended to use smaller pots to match their miniature size.

Molting Period: During the molting period, the surface of Lithops otzeniana Nel’s leaves gradually sheds or peels off, revealing new leaves. Particular attention should be paid to reducing watering during this period and placing them in a well-ventilated area. Lithops are fragile during molting, so avoid moving or touching the plants to prevent damage to the leaves.
