Many species grow in cooler months and rest in summer, sheltered by old dry leaves. Recognising this cycle avoids unnecessary watering and helps preserve their compact form. Explore Lithops.

General care

  • Light: Plenty of light during growth; protect from strong sun in summer dormancy.
  • Watering: Water moderately during active cooler months; keep almost dry in summer dormancy.
  • Compost: Very mineral, free-draining mix without standing water.
  • Temperature: Ventilated position protected from frost and intense heat during dormancy.
  • Maintenance: Leave old dry leaves in place as protection; do not pull them off.
