Lithops are quite unusual. Originating from Africa they resemble tiny stones hence they are also known as Living Stones. They are super cute and easy to care for or you can say easy to ignore (and you should ignore them from caring a lot). If you can care for them well they will last about 20-30 years down the line.

Watering |
Summer: Do not water. Only if they become very wrinkled – then you can water a very small amount of water and they will plump up again within a week. Autumn: They start to grow during autumn. They will form tiny buds. Jump-start the growing process by giving it a full watering at the beginning of this season, entirely drenching the plant. Do not water when the soil is still moist. Winter: Do not water the plant. You should forget about them during the winter. They will try to drink up the moisture from older leaves during this season. Spring: Remove the older leaves without damaging the plant. Give it some water to drink and leave it as it is. |

Potting Mix |
plant your Lithops in a growing medium with very little organic matter. One half succulent soil mixed with one-half perlite is acceptable, but the less soil you have the better |
|
Light |
They need a lot of sunlight to grow, if your lithops are looking elongated that means they are lacking sunlight. |
