Pebble Plant / Lithops

This small succulent, resembling a precious stone, is charming and intriguing. On the surface, the small, flattened, fleshy head is actually two modified leaves. These leaves are initially fused, then split open to allow the emergence of a delicate little flower. The leaf surface features attractive marbling in various colors. Several colors are available to match your décor. The hues range from cool colors like green, blue, purple, and gray to warm colors like brown, red, orange, and yellow. During its dormancy period, between October and April, watering should be completely stopped. The plant will shrivel and burrow into the soil. Don't worry, this stage is essential for its survival! Upon emerging from dormancy, a new lithops will appear from the center of the old one.
