Lithops marmorata var elisae
living stone - mesembs - C252
Description
Lithops marmorata var elisae is a striking variety of the living stone, native to South Africa and Namibia. It is characterized by its pebble-like appearance, perfectly blending in with its natural rocky environment. The plant consists of two fleshy, fused leaves with a unique marble-like pattern, which gives it its name. The colors of the leaves range from grey to brownish, often with intricate markings. In late summer or autumn, Lithops marmorata var elisae produces a beautiful, daisy-like flower, typically white or yellow, that emerges from the fissure between the leaves. Like other Lithops, this variety requires very well-draining soil and infrequent watering. It thrives in bright, direct sunlight and is susceptible to root rot if overwatered. Provide a gritty growing medium to ensure proper drainage and observe the plant's cues for watering, only when the leaves show signs of shrinkage.
