Lithops salicola
synonym: Mesembryanthemum salicola
Description
Lithops salicola is a peculiar species of Lithops, or living stone plant, native to South Africa and Namibia, known for its stone-like appearance. These unique succulents consist of two fleshy, fused leaves, which have colors ranging from gray to brownish. These leaves are designed to blend in with the rocky environment. Lithops salicola typically flowers in the fall, producing a daisy-like flower in shades of yellow or white. It needs full sun and exceptionally well-draining soil. Water very sparingly, only when the plant shows signs of shrinking, which means it needs water. This is an interesting plant for rock gardens and succulent collections, adding a touch of unusual texture to any garden. The beauty of Lithops salicola lies in its unique form, which is unlike any other.
