Living Stones (Lithops): The Succulents That Look Like Pebbles
They disguise themselves as rocks and need watering just a few times a year.
Lithops, or living stones, are succulents from southern Africa that evolved to look like gravel.
They molt
Once a year a Lithops splits open and a new body emerges. Do not water during the molt.
Care
- As much light as you can give.
- Very little water — only in active growth.
- Gritty, fast-draining soil.
