Is the price of a Conophytum for one piece or one clump / cluster?
For one plant it may be 1 head or up to 10 heads depending on species and age.

What is the difference between a Conophytum cutting and a 3 years old plant?
A 3Y plant is grown from seed, a cutting is a head or clump of heads cut off from a larger plant and rooted. Cuttings are usually larger than 3Y plants at the same price.

Which potting medium do you use?
Pumice (Bims), nothing else. It is a natural volcanic stone (beige porous gravel, fast drying), just sieved (could contain other stone parts)

What temperatures do you have?
In winter here I keep plants between 0 – 10°C, in summer it occasionally gets to 30°C (outside of the greenhouse).

Which are the months I should not water Lithops?
Here in Germany I do not water in winter (December to January). Maybe you can water all year round (in a hot country). Lithops optica (Rubra) needs some water in winter.

Do you sell any Lithops at wholesale rate?
Yes, but in many cases I have only few plants per number.
