One suggested regime is a small water to wake up the soil, followed a few days later by a big water, and then another big water a few weeks later. After this, water when it starts to flower (younger plants won't flower; look for a slight widening between the leaves as a sign they are a bit thirsty).

In ideal conditions, the Lithops will flower, with the bloom growing between the two leaves and adding to this incredible plant's unique appearance. Each year the old leaves will dry out, giving way to the new pair, and should drop off in late spring or early summer, at which point the plant will be ready to drink its first water of the year! These plants grow in the driest conditions so the key is really making sure not to overwater.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eScientific Name\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLithops karasmontana \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e(stonefaced plant from the Karas Mountains)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Name\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eLiving Stone, Flowering Stone, Stone Face\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOrigin\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eOriginates in South Africa\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLight\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003eNeeds plenty of light; choose a sunny windowsill that gets a couple of hours of morning or evening sun year-round\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWater\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003eLithops do not need much water at all; how much they use will also depend on climate, so in a cooler climate like the UK's they don't need much at all. Don't water over winter; when the old leaves have dried up, which could be as late as May or June, water the plant. One suggested regime is a small water to wake up the soil, followed a few days later by a big water, and then another big water a few weeks later. After this, water when it starts to flower (younger plants won't flower; look for a slight widening between the leaves as a sign they are a bit thirsty).

True to their name, they look more like pebbles than living plants, but these incredible succulents are really alive and kicking! This plant achieves its unique appearance by growing two wide, fleshy leaves which are flattened on top, creating its stony appearance. This variety's patterns on the top of each leaf are a bright reddish-brown. In the wild, they grow on stony ground, blending in with normal, non-living rocks, in arid conditions where their thick leaves help retain water. In ideal conditions, the Lithops will flower, with the bloom growing between the two leaves and adding to this incredible plant's unique appearance. Each year the old leaves will dry out, giving way to the new pair, and should drop off in late spring or early summer, at which point the plant will be ready to drink its first water of the year!

Don't water over winter; when the old leaves have dried up, which could be as late as May or June, water the plant. One suggested regime is a small water to wake up the soil, followed a few days later by a big water, and then another big water a few weeks later. After this, water when it starts to flower (younger plants won't flower; look for a slight widening between the leaves as a sign they are a bit thirsty).
