There now is some evidence that a pea ∅ does not quite serve as a rule for the size of Lithops seedlings. To big in most cases and far to much volumen in comparison to the body of a junior living stone.
Here comes the common peppercorn. Nearly 5 mm and only a quarter of the volume of a pea. That will make the difference.
For obvious resaons – visibility and glamour – I cannot refrain from choosing the pink peppercorn as reference.
Lets see if it works:
L. hookeri C019 and a pink peppercorn
L. dinteri C206 and a pink peppercorn
L. hallii C119 and a pink peppercorn
L. fulviceps C266 and the pink peppercorn
L. karasmontana ‘Top Red’ and a peppercorn
L. pseudotruncatella C068 and a pink peppercorn
What do you think? A peppercorn fits better, doesn’t it?
At least for juvenile Lithops. L. lesliei ‘albinica’ and a pink peppercorn.
And it works for Conophytum as well. This C. violaciflorum just hatched in its first winter/rainy season.
