Violet Lithops: Living Stones, Flowering Stones, Stone Plants

Lithops salicola "Sato's violet"

For Lithops salicola "Sato's violet", soak the seeds in water for 24 hours before sowing them in a well-draining mixture of equal parts of sand, perlite, and peat moss. Cover the container with clear plastic or a glass lid to maintain high humidity levels and place it under fluorescent lights or in a bright, indirect light location. The temperature should be around 70-80�F (21-27�C) during the day and 60-70�F (15-21�C) at night. The seeds should germinate in about 2-3 weeks.

Some of plants may have very have specific germination requirements that may not be covered in these general instructions. 

Many seeds require pre-treatment before sowing which we try to list here when we can, but this information may not be present here.  Germination times and germination temperatures are to be a guide only.  Many factors can DRASTICALLY affect this.

 

It's always a good idea to research the specific germination requirements from multiple sources for each plant before attempting to grow them from seed.
