Lithops karasmontana ssp bella
Living Stone
Description
Lithops karasmontana ssp. bella, often referred to as living stones, is a unique and captivating succulent. Native to Southern Africa, this plant is known for its remarkable resemblance to small pebbles or stones. Its body consists of two fleshy leaves that are fused together, with a fissure running along the top from which the plant emerges. The leaves are typically a grayish-green color, often with intricate patterns and markings that vary between individual plants. During the late summer or autumn, this Lithops produces a single, daisy-like flower that emerges from the fissure. It requires extremely well-draining soil, full sun and very infrequent watering, especially during its dormant period. This plant makes a striking addition to a rock garden or container planting.
