Caring for your Lithops Plants is straightforward. They require well-draining soil, bright indirect light, and infrequent watering. Overwatering is the most common mistake, so it’s best to allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. During their dormant period, typically in the summer and winter, they require even less water. With proper care, these Living Stones will thrive and bring you years of enjoyment.

Frequently Asked Questions:

1. How often should I water my Lithops? Lithops should be watered sparingly, typically only when the top inch of soil is completely dry. Overwatering can lead to rot, so it’s best to err on the side of underwatering, especially during the dormant seasons (summer and winter).
2. What type of soil is best for Lithops Plants? A well-draining succulent or cactus mix is ideal. You can also create your own mix by combining potting soil with perlite and coarse sand to improve drainage.
3. How much sunlight do Lithops need? Lithops thrive in bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch their delicate leaves. An east- or west-facing window is often a good location.
4. What is the ideal temperature for Lithops? Lithops prefer temperatures between 65°F and 80°F (18°C and 27°C). They can tolerate slightly cooler temperatures during the winter dormant period.
5. Why are my Lithops shriveling? Shriveling can be a sign of both underwatering and overwatering. Check the soil moisture. If the soil is dry, water sparingly. If the soil is wet, allow it to dry out completely before watering again. Shriveling during dormancy is normal as the plant reabsorbs the old leaves.
