Lithops terricolor Grey Mix
Lithops terricolor (syn L. localis) Grey Mix has bluish grey plants with yellow to pink tops speckled with grey epidermal windows.
Description:
Lithops terricolor (syn L. localis) is a widely-distributed living stone in the Little and Great Karoo of South Africa. This Grey Mix has bluish grey plants with yellow to pink tops speckled with grey epidermal windows that allow light to penetrate into the photosynthetic tissue within each leaf. Colours can vary between plants and with growing conditions. In summer or fall they can produce a multi-petaled, yellow flower. Easy to grow and somewhat forgiving of occasional over-watering. Unlike the photo taken to illustrate the variation in the strain, our plants are potted one per pot. If you order multiples, we will select a contrasting range of colours/forms.
