SPECIAL PLANT – Lithops aucampiae is one of the most captivating varieties of "living stones." This unique succulent perfectly camouflages among rocks with its fleshy leaves, displaying shades ranging from brown to reddish-brown, often with intricate darker veins. This natural design is an incredible evolutionary adaptation, allowing it to survive in the arid soils of South Africa. In autumn, Lithops aucampiae stands out with its brilliant yellow flowers, emerging from the center of the leaves and creating a stunning contrast against its stone-like appearance.
Lithops aucampiae thrives in a sunny location with highly draining soil, such as a mix of sand and perlite, to prevent water retention. This plant is highly drought-resistant and should only be watered when the soil is completely dry. During winter dormancy, watering should be almost entirely stopped to avoid root rot.
One of the most fascinating aspects of its growth is its leaf renewal process: during this phase, avoid watering until the new leaves have fully developed. Adapted to arid climates, it withstands high temperatures well but should be protected from frost and excessive humidity. If grown in regions with harsh winters, it’s best to place it in a sheltered spot.
Perfect for those who appreciate rare and intriguing plants, Lithops aucampiae is a natural masterpiece, surprising with its extraordinary adaptability and unique beauty.
