Product Description
Lithops optica 'Rubra' is a rare and stunning succulent with a distinctive rosy-purple hue, setting it apart from most Lithops species. Its fleshy, rounded leaves form a compact, split pair, mimicking small pebbles to blend into its arid surroundings. Unlike green-toned Lithops, this cultivar maintains its reddish-pink color throughout the year, intensifying under bright light. In late autumn to winter, it produces a delicate white to pale pink daisy-like flower, adding to its charm. Its ability to store water in its thick leaves allows it to thrive in extreme drought conditions.
