Caillou Plant / Lithops 12cm

This small succulent, resembling a gemstone, is charming and intriguing. On the surface, the small, flattened, fleshy head is actually two modified leaves. Its leaves are first fused together, then split to allow the passage of a delicate little flower. The leaf surface features beautiful marbling in different colors. Several colors are available to match your decor. The shades vary from cool colors like green, blue, purple, and gray. Warm colors like brown, red, orange, and yellow are also available. During its dormant period, between October and April, stop watering completely. The plant will shrivel and burrow into the soil. Don't worry, this step is essential to its survival! Upon emerging from its dormancy, a new lithops sprouts from the center of the old one.
