Plant Pro Tip

Don’t water them while lithops are in the process of splitting as they absorb the moisture from the old leaves and transfer into new ones. If your water during this process, old leaves will not dry out, stay too big, and will kill new leaves.

Make sure you let any excess water drain away to avoid root rot.

These plants are pet friendly!

How often should I water my Split Rock succulent?: Water the plant when its leaves start to show signs of wrinkling or puckering, which indicates they need moisture. Be careful not to overwater and always let excess water drain away to prevent root rot.
Can I include the Split Rock in a mini bowl garden with other plants?: Absolutely! This succulent works wonderfully in a mini bowl garden. Combine it with preserved moss, other succulents, or cacti in a well-draining succulent soil and decorate with natural elements like cork or pebbles for an eye-catching display.
Is the Split Rock Lithops succulent suitable for beginners?: Yes, this plant is ideal for beginners due to its easy care requirements. It thrives in full light and requires minimal watering, making it very manageable for those new to plant care.

☀️ Light

☀️☀️☀️ (High)

The Pleiospilos Nelii Split Rock thrives in full light, ideally receiving 4 or 5 hours of direct morning sunlight. A sunny windowsill or a spot that gets ample morning sun is perfect for these living stones.

? Water

?▫️▫️ (Low)

Water sparingly, only when the plant starts to show signs of wrinkling or puckering. Be careful not to overwater, as this can lead to root rot. During its splitting phase, avoid watering altogether to allow the plant to utilize moisture from old leaves.

?️ Temperature

?️?️▫️ (Average)

Pleiospilos Nelii enjoys typical indoor temperatures. It’s quite hardy but avoid extreme cold. Room temperatures between 18°C to 24°C are ideal.

? Humidity

?▫️▫️ (Low)

This succulent prefers low humidity environments, making it quite suitable for typical home conditions. No need to mist or provide extra humidity.

? Repotting

Repotting is rarely needed for the Split Rock. These succulents grow slowly and thrive in confined spaces. Use a well-draining succulent mix to ensure healthy growth.

? Pet Friendliness

This plant is completely pet-friendly, making it a worry-free choice for pet owners. Feel free to place it in accessible spots without concern for your furry friends.

Ideal locations include sunny kitchen windowsills, bright desks, or any well-lit area of your home. They make fantastic, interesting additions to plant collections displayed in living areas.
