Lithops assorted 2" pot

Lithops, commonly called "living stones" or "split rocks," are tiny, stemless succulents native to arid regions of southern Africa. They mimic pebbles to hide from animals, growing only 1 to 2 inches tall with a pair of thick, fleshy leaves separated by a center cleft.

Key CharacteristicsAppearance: Two fused leaves resembling stones with translucent "leaf windows" on top that let light in for photosynthesis.

Flowers: Daisy-like yellow or white flowers bloom from the center cleft in autumn.

Lifespan: Very slow-growing but can live for decades.

Soil: Needs a fast-draining, highly gritty mineral mix (such as 50% pumice or perlite and 50% cactus soil) in a deep pot with a drainage hole.

Light: Requires bright direct sunlight, about 6 hours or more daily.

Watering Cycle:Water lightly only when the soil is completely dry and the tops of the leaves look slightly wrinkled.Never water during winter or when the plant is "splitting" (growing a new pair of inner leaves that consume the old ones).
