About Lithops Aucampiae L. Bolus

Lithops auramine L. Bolus typically exhibits thick leaves with deep fissures, from which a yellow flower may emerge. Compared to other lithops species, its fissures are relatively short. The leaves are brown with dark spots and textures along the edges. Lithops auramine L. Bolus readily forms clusters, thriving in suitable growing conditions supporting each other's growth.

How to care for Lithops Aucampiae L. Bolus

Sun/Temperature: Ensure Lithops aucampiae L. Bolus receives ample sunlight while avoiding excessive direct sunlight. They thrive in warm, dry climates, ideally ranging from 60-80°F. They are not very tolerant of cold temperatures and should be moved indoors during winter.

Soil/Watering: Choose mineral soil with excellent drainage to avoid root rot. You have to make sure the soil dry completely before watering again to mimic their natural habitat.

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

Molting Period: Monitor soil moisture levels closely during molting and reduce watering frequency. Additionally, avoid moving or touching the plants to prevent damage to the leaves.

We pack all shipments by hand. 

We have many years of experience shipping live succulents and cactus plants. We pay close attention to packing and have developed an expert shipping method. All succulents are packed and protected with polypropylene cotton (this is a stuffing used for dolls). We find this is the most effective material for protecting live plants while in transit. It is important to us that you are able to Keep going and Keep growing without any stress about the quality of the product or packaging.

Shipping Speed

In general, it takes 3 to 10 days for plants to arrive after you place your order. All orders will be shipped out 48 hours after you place them. 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. Estimated shipping times are offered as needed.

HOLIDAYS: During weeks in which a holiday occurs - Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's, etc. - shipping may be delayed until the following week.

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!!!
