☀️ Light
☀️☀️☀️ (High)
Lithops thrive in environments with full, direct sunlight. They require at least 4-6 hours of direct sun daily to maintain vibrant colours and optimal health. A bright, sunny windowsill is perfect for these fascinating succulents.
? Water
?▫️▫️ (Low)
Watering needs for Lithops vary with the seasons. During the autumn to early spring, water only when the soil is completely dry, about once every 2-3 weeks. In late spring to summer, avoid watering altogether as the plants are dormant. Resume minimal watering in late summer to early autumn only when new growth appears and the old leaves have shrivelled.
?️ Temperature
?️?️▫️ (Average)
Lithops are comfortable in typical indoor temperatures found in most homes. They prefer temperatures between 18°C to 24°C. Protect them from extreme cold, which could damage the plants.
? Humidity
?▫️▫️ (Low)
These succulents prefer dry conditions and do not require high humidity. Typical indoor humidity levels are adequate for healthy growth, avoiding overly humid environments that could encourage rot.
? Repotting
Lithops should be repotted every few years or when they outgrow their current pot. Use a well-draining cactus or succulent potting mix to prevent moisture retention and root rot. Ensuring proper drainage is crucial for their survival.
? Pet Friendliness
Lithops are pet-friendly and safe for homes with furry friends. They pose no risk of toxicity, making them a worry-free choice for pet owners.
? Recommended Locations at Home
Place your Lithops in locations that receive plenty of sunlight, such as south-facing windowsills, or any well-lit spot that meets their light requirements. They make excellent desk plants due to their compact size and minimal care needs.
? Air Purifying
While not specifically known for air-purifying abilities, Lithops contribute to a diverse and healthy indoor plant environment, which can indirectly improve air quality.
