LITHOPS ?AUCAMPIAE? ?LESLIEI?
In January I bought some Lithops that I had come across in a garden center. They were planted in pure peat and looked lovely and were so beautifully sculptured.
I allways loved the way the Japanese presented their plants in their ceramic containers. When I for the first time visited american and british succulent plant exhibitions I again saw this art of presentation. I really adore the way american and british succulent plant lovers present their plants. And so I decided to give "my lithops" a better and more beautiful home.
As allways I potted the plants in my mineral substrate. No peat was added. I covered the top of the surface with Granite as to mimic the natural habitat.
The plants stay outside the whole spring, summer and autumn as long as the temperature will not be under 5 C.
Watering will be suspended when the temperature will be under 10 C. Generally speaking I water the plants as often I do my cacti.
I am not sure what species this Lithops may be. I allways have my difficulties to differentiate between L. aucampiae and L. lesliei. May be you can tell me...?

LITHOPS
This is an LITHOPS ?AUCAMPIAE? or ?LESLIEI? which i have found in a netherlandian nursery on a trip to Amsterdam.
I really have great problems to make a difference between these 2 species. For me they look alike from time to time or variation to variation correctly speaking.
I found these plants and their colour lovely and i am now looking for some bonsai pot in which they will look perfectly "japanese".
When i have won that struggle i will show and present you my beautiful lithops.
