Lithops fulviceps var aurea
living stone - mesembs - C363
Description
Lithops fulviceps var aurea, a beautiful variant of the living stone, is native to Namibia and South Africa. It's distinguished by its pebble-like form, which aids in its camouflage within its native rocky landscape. The plant is composed of two fleshy, fused leaves, which feature unique patterns and markings. The colors of the leaves can vary from grey to brown, with golden or yellowish hues, giving it the 'aurea' name. In late summer or autumn, Lithops fulviceps var aurea produces a daisy-like flower, usually yellow, that emerges from the fissure between its leaves. Like other Lithops, this variety requires very well-draining soil and infrequent watering to prevent root rot. Providing it with plenty of direct sunlight is essential for its health and well-being. Allow the soil to dry completely between waterings, as overwatering is detrimental.
