About Lithops M
Lithops M, of the Aizoaceae family, originates in South Africa and Namibia and has spread to home cultivation thanks to its beauty and resilience. Its most distinctive feature is a pair of fused leaves with the appearance of stones, a trait that makes it unmistakable even among advanced collectors.
We grow Lithops M at Succulentae, in the heart of the Almería desert, where the dry Mediterranean climate replicates the ideal conditions for the plant to develop its compact form and best coloration. The result: more compact, better colored and more resilient plants than those grown in artificial greenhouses.
