Lithops hookeri var marginata
Living Stone
Description
Lithops hookeri var. marginata, commonly called living stones, is a captivating succulent plant native to the arid regions of Southern Africa. This particular variety of lithops is prized for its unique appearance. They mimic small, rounded pebbles or stones, with a distinctive fissure across the top where the leaves are fused together. The leaves are typically gray-green, with a darker margin. Lithops hookeri marginata flowers in the fall, producing daisy-like blooms in various colors. Lithops thrive in full sun and require a very well-draining, gritty soil mix. Water sparingly, only when the soil is completely dry, especially during their dormancy, or they will easily rot.
