Aucamp's living stone · Lithops aucampiae
Living stones are succulent plants that mimic stones as a form of camouflage. They are generally easy to care for. Key special care points involve minimal watering—only when the soil is completely dry, and avoiding water on the leaves. They require bright light but should be protected from intense, direct sunlight. It's also crucial to provide a well-draining soil mix to prevent root rot.
The perfect timing to transplant living stones is in the gentle embrace of late spring or as autumn colors herald the approach of winter. Choose a sunny spot with good drainage to foster robust growth. A kind reminder: handle with care due to their delicate nature.
