About Lithops L
Lithops L is one of the most distinctive mesembryanthemums in the Aizoaceae family. Its origin is in South Africa and Namibia. The most striking thing about this plant is a pair of fused leaves with the appearance of stones, a feature that defines its personality and sets it apart within its genus.
Every specimen of Lithops L from Succulentae is grown outdoors in our Almería nursery, exposed to desert sun and controlled mineral watering. The result: more compact, better colored and more resilient plants than those grown in artificial greenhouses.
