Lithops pseudotruncatella alpina
Living Stone
Description
Lithops pseudotruncatella alpina, another fascinating member of the living stone family, is a small succulent native to South Africa. Its appearance closely mimics that of pebbles, providing excellent camouflage in its natural habitat. The plant consists of two fleshy leaves that are fused together, with a fissure running along the top. The leaves typically display a gray to brownish-green color, often with intricate patterns and markings that vary between different plants. During the late summer or autumn, this Lithops will produce a single, daisy-like flower that emerges from the fissure. It requires very well-draining soil, full sun and careful watering. Avoid excessive moisture. This plant offers a unique textural addition.
