Lithops sp. - Living Stone

Lithops is one of those plants you simply must see to believe. Nicknamed the "Living Stone" due to their uncanny resemblance to pebbles, these peculiar little succulents are native to southern Africa. These mimicry plants thrive in harsh, compacted soil and can take the full brunt of desert conditions, which means that as houseplants, they're great for small containers and require very little maintenance. As each plant is a little bit different, Lithops is must for your collection of arid oddballs.

PLANT CARE 

• Light: Bright diffused to direct light; 4-5 hours of early sun is ideal
• Water: Let soil completely dry between waterings
• Considerations: Use a well-draining cactus/succulent soil, and select a planter with drainage. This plant needs very little water, especially in winter
