The Lithops Fulviceps is a beautifully colored Lithops species with a beautiful dotted pattern on top of its leaves. The Lithops Fulviceps occurs naturally in a large area in Namibia and the Northern Cape of South Africa. Here the Lithops Fulviceps grows in rocky desert areas at an altitude of 700-1150 meters above sea level. During the winter nights, the Lithops Fulviceps also experiences a few degrees of frost here. Lithops Fulviceps will bloom in the fall. Bright yellow flowers then appear between the leaves. The flowers of Lithops Fulviceps bloom for several days.

General information Lithops living stones

Lithops species bloom in autumn with white or yellow flowers that appear from the stones. Once a year the stones change their leaves. The outer part comes loose and a new plant grows from the middle. The new living stones eventually become larger than the previous ones. So don't be alarmed if the stone suddenly splits open and a new stone comes out. There they grow in sandy soil and are difficult to find. This is because the Lithops species largely withdraw into the sand during dry periods, leaving only the top of the two leaves visible.
