Lithops 'Living Stones' are stemless succulents from South Africa that belong to the Aizoaceae (ice plant) family, and there are about 40 species. Native to southern Africa, they prefer a warm, dry, and sunny environment. They grow almost entirely underground in nature, with only a pair of kidney-shaped, succulent, flat-topped leaves visible from above.

It is a perennial succulent with almost no stems or globular shape, and it has variegated leaves and a hard epidermis with dark dendritic indentations or patterned spots on the top. The flowers are solitary(daisy-like) and it has a flowering stem that is about an inch long. They bloom from summer to mid-autumn. The unique shape and color of the flowers have led many enthusiasts to collect and cultivate the plant, which has a high ornamental value.

 

Care Tips

Light: Living stones need a lot of light to grow, so it is recommended that they be kept in a well-lit area. However, the light in summer is very strong and harmful to the plant, so in the process of breeding, you also need to do a good job of shading measures in summer, the rest of the season should ensure sufficient sunlight.

Water: In spring, its soil usually dries up in three days, but to stimulate its growth, it is best to water once a week. In summer, when it is dormant, it needs watering once a month. In autumn, when it has just awakened from its dormant state, it needs more watering, about once every three or four days. In winter, there is no fixed time for watering, just water when it is dry.

Soil: It is important to choose soil that is loose, fertile and well permeable. The purpose of the soil change is to ensure that the plant is well supplied with soil nutrients and to avoid the damage caused by soil caking to the plant.

Potting: It is recommended to use ceramic pots. Ceramic pots have a certain degree of permeability. Clay pots lose water too quickly, plastic pots tend to retain water for too long and permeability is poor.

Temperature: Living Stones like a warm environment. The most suitable temperature for Living Stones is between 59-77°F (15-25℃), so it is also very crucial to control the temperature of the plant. In the process of daily maintenance, we only need to do a good job of cooling in summer and keeping warm in winter, to ensure that the maximum temperature does not exceed 86°F (30 ℃) in summer and not less than 50°F (10 ℃) in winter.

Humidity: Living Stones grow well in average household humidity levels when grown indoors. Does not like too much humidity. Normal household humidity is good for this plant.

    Care Instructions

    Please visit our Succulent Care info page for more details.

    To ensure the health of succulents, it is important to plant them in porous, well-draining soil. Succulents require little watering, but don't like to sit in wet soil. To create an adequate cactus mix, simply add pumice, perlite, or grit to cactus soil to provide the proper drainage.

    Make sure to leave drought periods between waterings to prevent the plant from water-logging.

      Not that great
      Huge "The Simpsons" fan. I watched all the episodes and read a lot of the comics and enjoy most. This one however was quite boring. Turns out I'm just not a big fan of Chief Wiggum. I really enjoyed The "Homer" and "Bart" book. But not this one. Maybe if you love Wiggum you'll love it. If you're not too fond of him then I wouldn't buy it.

      Good for my collection.
      Format: Hardcover
      This was another quick and entertaining read. This instalment wasn't as enjoyable as some of the other books but it was still good. I'm glad to have it in my collection.

      Creepy, unpredictable and an all-around great read!
      Format: Kindle
      The power of our choices has never been more evident than in this novel. This book is filled with both good, and bad, decisions that lead to terrifying consequences. Right from the start, our protagonist, Eve, has to make a choice — should she let the family who showed up at her front door inside her home or send them back into the cold? Inevitably, Eve’s inability to say no and need to please others outweighs Stranger Danger and soon the family of five is wandering through the isolated Victorian house. The book warns early on, “Once you let them in, they’ll never leave.” For sure once she let them in, things were never the same. The visit seems innocuous enough until things start to change. Subtle changes, the kind that makes you second guess yourself, slowly emerge and, as time goes on, transform into the kind that makes you question reality. Eve, too, transforms throughout the book. Her character bounces through bouts of paranoia, insecurity, impulsiveness and courage, never fully landing on one attribute, although paranoia always seems to be lurking in the depths of her mind. She constantly questions her own perceptions of what is and what was and the intentions of even the most innocent interactions. The book goes beyond the fear of what goes bump in the night and harnesses the fear of the unknown, keeping us on the edge of our seats. Nothing is as it seems. And it is scary! Kliewer’s frightening images and heart stopping encounters stay with you long after you’ve closed the book. At times, I found myself gripping my Kindle tightly and reading at lightning speed as if I, too, am escaping the sinister situations Eve faces. All in all, this is a good read. It’s quick and easy and Kliewer sets the stage with plenty of backstory, foreshadowing, suffocating tension, and creepy moments that all manage to tie into the moment a strange family shows up at her door. However, upon finishing, I found myself left with several unanswered questions (the only reason it got 4 and not 5 stars), which can be uncomfortable for readers who need everything wrapped up on a nice neat bow. But if you can handle a little ambiguity, take the time to read this book. Trust me, it's worth your time. And it may leave you questioning if things really are as they seem or have you hesitating before taking that trek down to the basement. For me, I may reconsider answering the door should a family of five come knocking.

      Definitely a page turner!
      Format: Kindle
      I really enjoyed this book! I was looking for a good, spooky book and this delivered. I went through all the emotions with this book; frustrated, sad, scared, confused...there was so much happening!! It was easy to get through this book because I wanted to know what was going to happen next. Although I loved this book, I had a lot of questions at the end, but the author could definitely write a couple more books getting deeper into the different stories introduced. I don't want to say TOO much because I don't want to give anything away, but after I finished I was like, "Nooooo!!!" LOL So, give it a read.

      A great read that leaves some loose threads
      Format: Hardcover
      I knew next to nothing about this book going into it other than that it was a horror novel and that my book club selected it. That’s neither a point in favor of or against the book itself, but it does become relevant in a moment because my lack of background shaped how I approached it to a certain extent. But before we get to that, the basic premise here is that this young couple has moved into a new house. One day while only one of them is home, there’s a knock at the door. This family is there and they say they used to live in the house and want to look around. In the real world, most of us would find that a slightly awkward situation but not an entirely unheard of one. In a horror novel, you know it’s going to set things in motion that probably won’t end well for at least someone involved, and that is indeed the case. But, contrary to immediate expectations, this doesn’t shift into a home invasion story. Instead, it treats us to a bit of slow burn horror as this visiting family seem slightly “wrong” for reasons neither the reader nor characters can put their fingers on, and things ultimately lead in rather unexpected directions, though I won’t spoil too much there. One of the interesting things I noticed quickly is that little interlude chapters throughout the book were punctuated with bits of Morse Code, which I dutifully translated as I read and which slowly began to hint at more of what was going on behind the scenes. That was a nice touch, I thought, but the novel eventually ran even further with that idea, treating us to more substantial codes and ciphers that became increasingly difficult to decrypt or translate. Some eventually became so frustrating that I took to the Internet for aid, whereupon I discovered that to solve some of them, you actually need clues from an alternate reality game which coincided with the book’s publication, but which the novel itself never directly alluded to, so that felt like a bit of a cheat to me, though I was eventually able to gather the information needed to solve the puzzles. Ultimately, I did not find those solutions necessary to understanding or enjoying the book, so it’s not too big a deal. The book itself was engrossing and exciting throughout but left the reader feeling like we’d only just gotten the tiniest taste of a much larger mythology, and I found myself wanting quite a bit more by the end of it, and I mean that in both a good way and a bad way. It’s good because it means I found the book so good I wanted more, but it’s bad because I found the ending left far too many loose threads for my own taste. But if you like a book ambitious enough to risk feeling a bit convoluted and yet with a clear sense that the author always knew exactly what he was doing, I think you’ll like this one. Though it’s far from AS complex, I think it will appeal strongly to fans of House of Leaves. Both thematically and in terms of structure, I noticed certain parallels between those works.
