L. fulviceps these days (5 pics)

Isn't it pretty? New shiny leaves slowly working through the old ones? :)
I'm very happy with how my Lithops fulviceps are regenerating this year.


The L. fulviceps v. lactinea are themselves quite large but they are dutifully transferring everything useful from the old leaves into new and are now showing their cute dotty faces. I find it interessting and unusual how the new leaves of these pale-bluish-white plants come out in deap orange. The color of the plants on the photos is already getting paler but at first it's like a completely different plant!


My L. fulviceps v. fulviceps 'Aurea' are all done. In fact, I was worried because they started regenerating in summer. I thought they might be finished before the winter and I will have to water them during the dark time and ruin their appearance and health by that. All worries were for nothing - they took their sweet time and fully changed only recently. Now they are ready for the water and for the spring sun.


The plant to the right is the one which photo I use as my user pic, btw. ;) It is now in its second year of two-headed-ness.

Thanks for your comment
