Lithops fulviceps A gray to orange Living Stones species with polka dots and thin red lines. It reminds me of the surface of a baskeball! Very few species have these dots and this species shows them more prominently than any other species. Produces yellow flowers in the fall.
Lithops have an undeserved reputation for being difficult. The really aren't as long as you pay attention to its particular needs. Unlike most plants Lithops have two growing seasons and two dormant seasons per year. Overwatering is the biggest risk in growing these plants. Give water as the soil is about to dry out in the spring through early summer, and in the fall. Keep dryer in the winter and in very hot summer weather. Hot weather makes them and most mesembs go dormant, and wet roots during dormancy can lead to rot. Protect from frost.
You will receive a plant shown in the last image. Plants shown in a 2.5" pot.
