Lithops villetii ssp deboeri
living stone - mesembs - C230A
Description
Lithops villetii ssp deboeri is a fascinating succulent, a subspecies of Lithops villetii, known as a living stone. It is native to South Africa and is characterized by its unique, pebble-like appearance. The plant consists of two fleshy, fused leaves that are typically grey-brown, with intricate patterns and markings. The leaves are designed to camouflage the plant in its natural rocky environment. Lithops villetii ssp deboeri produces a white or yellow daisy-like flower, that emerges from the fissure between the leaves in late summer or autumn. These plants need very well-draining soil to prevent root rot and require infrequent watering. Plant it in a gritty mix, and water only when the leaves shrink and show signs of needing hydration. Direct sunlight is essential for the plant to thrive and properly develop.
