Lithops salicola is a fascinating “living stone” succulent — a tiny, slow-growing plant that mimics a pebble in shape and texture. Its body is formed by a pair of thick, paired leaves joined together, often showing soft gray-green tones and subtle patterns.Each autumn, it may produce a delicate white daisy-like flower, emerging from the fissure between the leaves.
This species is a winter grower, becoming dormant in hot summer months. It is a perfect choice for plant lovers who enjoy low-maintenance succulents that still offer unique textures and natural character.
Care & Growing Tips
-
Prefers bright light but avoids intense direct sun, especially in hot afternoons.bring indoors if temperature drops too low.
-
Use a fast-draining, porous soil mix (succulent/cactus mix or gritty, inorganic substrate) to prevent root rot.
-
Follow a “soak-and-dry” watering method: water deeply but rarely; allow the soil to dry completely before watering again. Avoid over-watering — especially during dormancy.
