Lithops Living Stones

Light/Soil/Water Hardiness Lithops, native to Southern Africa, are also known by the name ‘Living Stones’ because of their resemblance to pebbles and rocks that scattered around their natural surroundings. Lithops are tiny slow-growing plants that grow close to the ground. Each plant has an underground stem with a long root that connects to two above-ground thick leaves that are merged together at the soil level. Lithops usually bloom white or yellow flowers from between the two leaves in the summer. All of the plants will be shipped bare root.See more about How to take care of Lithops Full sun.
