Lithops (Mixed)
Lithops (Mixed) are fascinating small succulents often called “Living Stones” for their uncanny resemblance to pebbles. Each plant consists of two thick, fleshy leaves divided by a central fissure, where delicate daisy-like flowers emerge in late summer or autumn. Their unique forms and natural camouflage make them a captivating addition to any succulent collection.
These miniature plants thrive in bright, sunny locations and require minimal watering, making them ideal for collectors, terrariums, or modern minimalist displays. Their mix of colours and patterns adds subtle texture and intrigue to any arrangement.
- Other names: Living Stones, Pebble Plants
- Useful to know: Non-toxic - safe for children and pets
- Feature: Susceptible to rot when overwatered
- Eventual height: 2-4cm tall, clusters spread gradually
- Origins: Southern Africa
Lithops Care Sheet
Light: Needs very bright light with some direct sun to maintain compact form and vivid markings.
Water: Water sparingly, only when leaves begin to wrinkle. Withhold water during late autumn-winter dormancy and when new leaves are forming.
Soil/Nutrition: Use a very gritty, fast-draining cactus mix with added sand or pumice. Feeding is rarely necessary.
Humidity: Prefers dry air – avoid humidity and overwatering.
Pruning & Propagation: No pruning required. Old leaf pairs naturally dry and split as new ones emerge. Propagation is from seed or careful division of clusters.
Experience level: Intermediate, due to specific watering needs
