6 years specializing in rare-form Lithops cultivars and the L. lesliei selections.
About
Bologna is a difficult Lithops city — humid in both directions, with not enough winter cold to force a clean dormancy. I solve it with a fan, a south-facing window, and very lean substrate. It works.
My focus is cultivars: 'Fred's Redhead', 'Top Red', the named L. schwantesii selections, and the patchwork of older horticultural names. I review the directory's cultivar entries.
