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.

How often should I water my Lithops during the growing season?: Water your Lithops only when the soil has completely dried out, typically once every 2-3 weeks. Ensure to water deeply and allow excess water to drain away to prevent root rot.
Can I keep my Lithops in a terrarium or enclosed space?: Lithops require at least 4-6 hours of direct sunlight daily and good air circulation, making them unsuitable for closed terrariums. They perform best on a sunny windowsill where conditions mimic their natural, arid habitat.
Are Lithops suitable for beginners and what makes them easy to care for?: Yes, Lithops are perfect for beginners due to their minimal care requirements. They thrive when neglected, needing only sporadic watering and plenty of light, making them exceptionally hassle-free and a delightful addition to any plant collection.

☀️ Light

Scale: ☀️☀️☀️ (High)

Lithops require a generous amount of sunlight to thrive. Ensure they get at least 4-6 hours of direct sunlight daily. A south-facing windowsill is an ideal spot for these sun-loving succulents.

? Water

Scale: ?▫️▫️ (Low)

Watering needs for Lithops are minimal. During autumn to early spring, water every 2-3 weeks, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Do not water during summer as they are dormant. Resume minimal watering once new growth appears in late summer.

?️ Temperature

Scale: ?️?️▫️ (Average)

Lithops prefer average room temperatures between 18°C and 24°C. They are quite tolerant of temperature fluctuations within this range, making them suitable for most indoor environments.

? Humidity

Scale: ?▫️▫️ (Low)

These succulents prefer low humidity environments, which mimic their natural arid habitats. Typical indoor humidity is usually adequate, with no extra measures needed.

? Repotting

Lithops do well in shallow pots with a well-draining succulent mix. Repotting is rarely needed, typically only when the plant outgrows its container or the soil needs refreshing. Use a pot with good drainage and succulent-specific soil to ensure health and growth.

? Pet Friendliness

Lithops are non-toxic and safe for pets. These are ideal houseplants for households with curious cats and dogs.

? Recommended Locations at Home

Place your Lithops in bright areas like south-facing windowsills, near conservatories, or any spot receiving ample sunlight. They make excellent desk plants for sunny office spaces too.

? Air Purifying

While not particularly known for air-purifying abilities, Lithops contribute to a diverse and healthy indoor plant environment.
