Lithops pseudotruncatella var dendritica
living stone - mesembs - C072
Description
Lithops pseudotruncatella var dendritica, a captivating variety of the living stone, is native to South Africa. It is known for its unique, pebble-like appearance, which aids in camouflage within its natural rocky environment. The plant consists of two fleshy, fused leaves, with a distinctive surface texture and markings, often featuring branching lines or dendritic patterns. The colors of the leaves can vary, ranging from grey to brown, often with reddish or pinkish hues. In late summer or autumn, Lithops pseudotruncatella var dendritica produces a beautiful, daisy-like flower, typically yellow, that emerges from the fissure between the leaves. Like other Lithops, it requires very well-draining soil and infrequent watering, as it is adapted to arid conditions. Bright, direct sunlight is essential for optimal growth and flowering.
