Lithops julii 'Kikusiyo Giyoku' (Rare)

About Lithops Julii 'Kikusiyo Giyoku'

Lithops julii 'Kikusiyo Giyoku' is a small stemless species that can grow, forming clusters of 15 or more individuals. The paired leaves are grey-brown with brown to red markings on top. There is a 5-10 mm deep fissure separating the leaves. Daisy-like white flowers emerge from the aperture from midsummer to autumn. Occasionally, the characteristic slip-smear appears as edging or lining all along the outer margin.

How to care for Lithops Julii 'Kikusiyo Giyoku'

Sun/Temperature: Ensure Lithops julii 'Kikusiyo Giyoku' receives ample sunlight but avoids direct solid sunlight in summer. Therefore, it can be planted indoors on windowsills or in bright, sunny areas. They adapt to warm, dry climates, with the ideal temperature range being 60-80°F. Protect them from cold temperatures in winter by moving them indoors.

Soil/Watering: Choose well-draining mineral soil to prevent root rot. Watering should be done after the soil dries out to simulate their natural growing conditions.

Pot: Select pots with good ventilation and ensure they have drainage holes at the bottom. Smaller pots are recommended for better plant management.

Molting Period: After flowering in autumn and extending into winter, the plant requires less watering. New leaves formed inside the plant absorb moisture from the outer succulent leaves, causing them to shrivel until the old leaves are reduced to "thin paper shells."

We ship the orders on work days(from Monday to Saturday) and all year round. In normal conditions, it will take 3-10 days for you to receive the package.

EXTREME WEATHER NOTICE: The Next Gardener reserves the right to hold shipments during storms or periods of extreme heat or cold. This is to ensure your plant does not suffer while it is in transit.

Winter shipping

We insist on shipping succulents to our customers all year round. However due to the extreme winter weather, although we pack succulents with as much protective material as possible, plants are still at increased risk of frost on their way to colder areas. We highly recommend adding one 72-hour heat pack to your order or you can request a hold on the package until it warms up.

Please note that The Next Gardener is not responsible for packages that suffer cold damage without a heat pack. We cannot control the weather. Order at your own risk.

Hawaii, Alaska, and Other US Territories

Fortunately, shipping is available to Alaska, Guam, and other U.S. Territories. However, due to numerous factors beyond our control, including customs checks and shipping delays, free shipping to Hawaii and Puerto Rico is not an option. And we can not provide the 14-day quality guarantee for orders going to Hawaii and Puerto Rico. The buyer will assume all risk of damage when a delivery is delayed. We appreciate your understanding.

Sorry. No International Shipping for now!!!
