Lithops - Colonie

On the surface, the small, flattened, fleshy head is actually two modified leaves. Its leaves are first fused together, then split to allow the passage of a delicate little flower. The surface of the leaves features pretty marbling of different colors. Several colors are available to match your decor. The shades vary between cool colors like green, blue, purple, and gray. There are also warm colors like brown, red, orange, and yellow. During its dormant period, between October and April, stop watering completely. The plant will shrivel and burrow into the soil. Don't worry, this step is essential to its survival! As it emerges from its rest, a new lithops appears from the center of the old one.
