Lithops Large Living Stones Rocks Succulent Care Guide

Lithops, or Living Stones, are fascinating succulents that thrive in arid environments by mimicking the appearance of small rocks. Native to southern Africa, these unusual plants require specific care, particularly when it comes to watering, to ensure they stay healthy.

Light Requirements

  • Light: Lithops need at least 4-6 hours of direct sunlight per day to maintain their vibrant colours and healthy growth. A bright, sunny windowsill is ideal. They can tolerate bright, indirect light but perform best with more direct exposure.

Watering Schedule

  • Autumn to Early Spring (Growing Season): Water your Lithops only when the soil has completely dried out, typically once every 2-3 weeks. Be sure to water deeply but allow all excess water to drain away. Avoid letting the plant sit in water, as this can lead to root rot.
  • Late Spring to Summer (Dormancy): Lithops enter dormancy during the summer and should not be watered at all during this period. They survive on the moisture stored in their leaves and too much water can cause them to split or rot.
  • Late Summer to Early Autumn (New Growth Emerges): As new leaves begin to emerge from the old ones, avoid watering entirely until the old leaves have fully dried up and shrivelled. Only resume watering once the new leaves have fully developed.

This cycle mimics their natural environment, where they receive water primarily during the rainy season and endure long dry periods.
