About Lithops Otzeniana Nel
Lithops otzeniana Nel is a member of the Aizoaceae family, specifically the Lithops genus. It has small and easily clustered plant bodies with a height and diameter ranging from 2.5 to 3 centimeters. Its fleshy leaves have deep clefts and are rounded on the top surface. They present colors ranging from gray-green to brown, with translucent blue or gray-green spots. Bright yellow flowers emerge from the center aperture. It is an ideal choice for indoor small-scale planting.
How to care for Lithops Otzeniana Nel
Sun/Temperature: Ensure that Lithops otzeniana Nel receives ample sunlight, but avoid direct solid sunlight during summer. They adapt to warm and dry climates, with suitable temperatures ranging from 60-80°F. They are not cold-resistant, so they should be moved indoors during winter.
Soil/Watering: Select well-draining mineral soil to prevent waterlogging of the roots. To replicate their natural habitat, it's important to let the soil thoroughly dry before watering again, mirroring the conditions they experience in the wild.
Pot: Choose pots with good ventilation and ensure that there are drainage holes at the bottom. It is recommended to use smaller pots to match their miniature size.
Molting Period: During the molting period, the surface of Lithops otzeniana Nel's leaves gradually sheds or peels off, revealing new leaves. Particular attention should be paid to reducing watering during this period and placing them in a well-ventilated area. Lithops are fragile during molting, so avoid moving or touching the plants to prevent damage to the leaves.

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.

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.
