About Lithops hookeri v. hookeri

Lithops hookeri v. hookeri is a living stone plant characterized by paired leaves, typically in shades of grey-green or grey-brown, with uneven ridges and spots. The fleshy leaves have shallow fissures between them. This plant usually maintains a discreet appearance during its growth period, with its color and patterns blending with the surrounding rocks and sand grains. Yellow flowers emerge from the fissures between the leaves in autumn.

How to care for Lithops hookeri v. hookeri

Sun/Temperature: Ensure Lithops hookeri v. hookeri receives ample sunlight, avoiding excessive direct sunlight in summer. They can tolerate full sun during other seasons. They prefer warm climates, with temperatures ideally ranging from 60-80°F. Protect them from cold temperatures in winter by considering indoor placement.

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. Lithops enter a dormant state during summer and require minimal watering.

Pot: Select pots with good ventilation and ensure they have drainage holes at the bottom. Using smaller pots that match their miniature shape and charming demeanor is recommended.

Propagation: Lithops hookeri v. hookeri can be propagated by seeds or division.

Molting Period: Lithops hookeri v. hookeri enters a molting period after the growing season, during which watering frequency should be reduced. During molting, the plant extracts moisture from the outer leaves to nourish the new growth until the old leaves wither entirely away. Therefore, you can stop watering during winter.

Shipping

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!!!
