🪨 Lithops (Living Stones) Care Tips

☀️ Light

• Needs bright, indirect light to full sun

• Ideally 4–5 hours of direct sun daily (morning light is best)

• Indoors: place near a south or east-facing window

💧 Watering (very specific!)

• Spring & Autumn: Water lightly and infrequently — only when the body looks slightly wrinkled

• Summer Dormancy (Hot weather): DO NOT WATER

• Winter: DO NOT WATER while new leaves are forming — wait until the old leaves shrivel away

• Overwatering is the main cause of death

🌱 Soil

• Use a gritty, well-draining cactus mix

• Add extra perlite, pumice, or coarse sand — aim for fast drainage

🪴 Potting

• Small, shallow pot with excellent drainage

• Avoid humidity-retaining pots like plastic

🌡️ Temperature

• Loves warmth: 20–30°C

• Keep above 10°C; protect from frost and high humidity

🍽️ Feeding

• No fertilizer needed, but a very diluted cactus fertilizer can be applied once during the growing season

✅ Quick Tips

• Lithops follow a strict annual cycle — respect their dormancy

• Never water during the leaf-splitting stage (late winter/early spring)

• Avoid frequent repotting — they like to be left alone

Let Lithops add a touch of desert mystery and living stillness to your plant collection—a quiet conversation piece rooted in nature’s design.
