Lithops (plantes-cailloux)

1. Stone-Like Appearance: Resembles pebbles, helping it blend into rocky environments.
2. Fused Leaf Pairs: Grows as pairs of thick, fleshy leaves with a slit in the center.
3. Seasonal Flowers: Produces daisy-like flowers (yellow or white) in late summer or fall.

Care:

• Light: Needs 4–6 hours of bright, direct sunlight daily.
• Watering: Only water when leaves wrinkle slightly—usually in autumn; avoid watering during dormancy.
• Soil: Use gritty, well-draining soil (cactus/succulent mix).
• Temperature: Prefers 65–85°F (18–29°C); not frost-tolerant.
• Humidity: Low humidity is best; too much can cause rot.
• Fertilization: Rarely needed; use diluted cactus fertilizer once a year if desired.
• Dormancy: Avoid watering in winter and summer dormancy periods.

Ideal For:

• Succulent and cactus collections.
• Indoor windowsills or bright spots.
• Minimal-care, drought-tolerant gardens.
