This little gem-like succulent is charming and intriguing. On the surface, the small, flattened, fleshy head is actually two modified leaves. Its leaves are first united, then split to allow the passage of a delicate little flower. The surface of the leaves has attractive mottling of different colors. Several colors are available to match your decor. Hues vary between cool colors like green, blue, purple and gray. We also find warm colors like brown, red, orange and yellow . During its dormant period, between October and April, watering is completely stopped. The plant will shrivel and burrow into the ground. Don't worry, this step is essential to its survival! Coming out of its rest, a new lithops appears from the center of the old one.
