Lithops are small succulents known as living stones, with pairs of fleshy leaves, distinctive patterns and flowers emerging from the central fissure.
Lithops are compact succulents made of paired fleshy leaves whose markings, dots and colours resemble small stones. A daisy-like flower may emerge from the fissure. Their patterns and discreet growth make them appealing to collectors.
A new leaf pair develops using reserves from the old one. This change should guide watering. Pleiospilos also look stone-like but are a different genus with their own growth rhythm. Explore Pleiospilos.
