Few plants can spark conversation like lithops (aka live succulents, living stones, or stone faces). In their natural habitat, these intriguing succulent life-forms blend in with the surrounding non-living stones and sand. No 2 seem to be identical in appearance, with the tops of their windowed leaves featuring intricate patterns. Many species eventually form clusters, and in their native home of South Africa, clusters gradually spread to form large colonies that can span 6 ft. Dia. In your planted spaces, however, potted lithops are particularly great at lending quirky flair to bright and tight spaces. A single body can be up to 1.5 in. Dia and is split by a central cleft, creating a nearly stemless bilobed body. When in the bloom, lithops temporarily lose their masters of disguise powers, as the plants are nearly obscured by flowers that are composed of frilly satiny yellow or white petals. Provide bright light, such as a sunny window or part sun outside. Water thoroughly when the soil is dry to the touch during spring, late summer, and fall. Water new leaves only when old leaves are dry husks. Flower late summer to fall. Hardy Zone 6 to 11.
