Lithops Living Stone

Lithops is a genus of highly specialized succulents native to the arid deserts of Southern Africa. They are characterized by their extreme camouflage, evolving to resemble the smooth stones and pebbles of their environment. Each plant consists of two fleshy, fused leaves separated by a fissure from which new leaves emerge and a flower appears. They spend most of the year conserving water and have a unique life cycle where new leaves consume the old ones. They are highly valued for their unique form and are often considered a challenge for succulent growers due to their specific seasonal care needs. Find our care guide here!
