Altman Living Stones Succulents (8PK) - Pet Safe Succulents

Lithops (also known as living stones or stone faces) are a fascinating group of succulent plants that can spark intriguing conversations. In their natural habitat, these intriguing life-forms blend seamlessly with the surrounding non-living stones and sand, often resembling brains or bottoms. The tops of their windowed leaves feature intricate patterns, adding to their unique appeal.

In their native South African environment, Lithops gradually spread to form large colonies that can span up to 6 feet in diameter. However, when cultivated in planted spaces, potted lithops are particularly well-suited for adding quirky flair to bright and tight spaces, such as windowsills, desks, or other nooks and crannies.

The single body of a lithops plant can be up to 1.5 inches in diameter and is split by a central cleft, creating a nearly stemless bilobed structure, which has led to comparisons with bottoms. When in bloom, lithops temporarily lose their "masters of disguise" powers, as the plants are nearly obscured by flowers composed of frilly, satiny yellow or white petals.

To care for lithops, they require bright light, such as a sunny window or part-sun outdoor location. They should be watered thoroughly when the soil is dry to the touch during spring, late summer, and fall. New leaves should only be watered when the old leaves have dried into husks. Lithops typically bloom in late summer to fall.

Lithops plants are non-toxic and perfect for succulent and animal lovers alike, making them an ideal choice for pet-friendly households. The "Live Lithops Plant Pack" includes 8 real plants grown in 2.5-inch nursery pots, with varying colors to ensure a unique and diverse collection. The simple plant care required, with thriving in bright light and only watering when the soil is dry, makes lithops an excellent choice for both novice and experienced plant enthusiasts.

This unique plant box offers a delightful way to share the joy of these "succulent party favors" with fellow plant lovers, adding a touch of quirky and fun to any gathering or gift-giving occasion.
