Lithops Mix 5.5cm (4 Options)

🌿 Lithops Mix Care Guide

The Lithops Mix, also known as Living Stones, is a collection of tiny succulents that look just like pebbles scattered across a desert floor. Each “stone” is a unique colour and pattern — from sandy beige to dusky purple — making them one of nature’s most fascinating designs. Compact, minimal, and full of character, they’re perfect for sunny windowsills and collectors who love a bit of weird and wonderful.

☀️ Light

• Thrives in bright light to full sun

• Place near a south- or west-facing window for best colour and growth

• Gradually acclimate to strong sunlight to prevent leaf burn

💧 Water

💧 Less is more!

• Water sparingly, only when the soil is completely dry — roughly every 3–4 weeks in summer

• In winter, do not water while they’re dormant or splitting (new leaves forming)

• Overwatering is the main cause of Lithops heartbreak — always err on the dry side

🌡️ Temperature

• Loves warmth — ideal range 18–30°C

• Protect from frost and keep above 10°C in winter

🌫️ Humidity

• Prefers dry air — no misting needed

• Avoid high humidity or enclosed environments

🍽️ Feeding

• Lithops need very little feeding — a light cactus fertilizer once a year in summer is plenty

🌱 Quick Tips

• Use a gritty, sandy cactus mix for perfect drainage

• Plant in a shallow pot — they like their roots snug

• Pet-safe ✅ — harmless but best left uneaten!
