Lithops, commonly known as Living Stones, are small, unique succulents that resemble pebbles or stones, making them a fascinating addition to any plant collection. Their distinctive appearance helps them blend into their natural arid environments, and they produce small, daisy-like flowers that emerge from the center of the “stone” leaves, adding a delicate touch of color. Ideal for small pots, terrariums, or rock gardens, Lithops are perfect for collectors who appreciate unusual and low-maintenance plants.
