Altman Living Stones Succulents (8PK) - Pet Safe Live Plants

Lithops, also known as living stones or stone faces, are fascinating succulent plants that can spark intriguing conversations. In their natural habitat in South Africa, these life-forms blend seamlessly with the surrounding non-living stones and sand, often resembling brains or bottoms. The tops of their windowed leaves feature intricate patterns, and the plants can gradually spread to form large colonies spanning up to 6 feet in diameter.

When planted in your own spaces, potted lithops can add a quirky and unique flair to bright and tight areas, such as windowsills, desks, or other nooks and crannies. Each plant can be up to 1.5 inches in diameter and is split by a central cleft, creating a nearly stemless bilobed body, leading to comparisons to bottoms.

While lithops are masters of disguise in their natural state, they temporarily lose this ability when in bloom. During late summer to fall, the plants are nearly obscured by their flowers, which are composed of frilly, satiny yellow or white petals.

Caring for lithops is relatively straightforward. They thrive in bright light, such as a sunny window or partial sun outside. Water them thoroughly when the soil is dry to the touch during spring, late summer, and fall, but only water new leaves when the old leaves have dried into husks.

For those who love both succulents and pets, lithops are a perfect choice, as they are non-toxic. The "Pet Friendly Succulents" pack includes 8 real lithops plants, grown in 2.5-inch nursery pots, with varying colors. This unique plant box makes for a beautiful and fun gift for plant lovers, serving as a perfect "succulent party favor."

In summary, lithops are fascinating and low-maintenance succulents that can add a quirky and distinctive touch to any indoor or outdoor setting. With their natural camouflage and stunning blooms, these living stones are sure to captivate and delight plant enthusiasts and curious onlookers alike.
