- Lithops Is A Genus Of Succulent Plants Native To Southern Africa
- "Lithos" Means "Stone" And "-Ops" Means "Face" In Ancient Greek; Therefore "Lithops" Means "Stone-Like"
- This Is A Very Good Description Of These Plants, Which Avoid Being Eaten By Blending In With Surrounding Rocks
- They Are Often Known As Pebble Plants Or Living Stones
- The Formation Of The Name From The Greek "-Ops" Means That Even A Single Plant Is Called A Lithops
- Individual Lithops Plants Consist Of One Or More Pairs Of Bulbous, Almost Fused Leaves Opposite To Each Other And Hardly Any Stem
- The Slit Between The Leaves Contains The Meristem And Produces Flowers And New Leaves
- The Leaves Of Lithops Are Mostly Buried Below The Surface Of The Soil, With A Partially Or Completely Translucent Top Surface Or Window Allowing Light To Enter The Interior Of The Leaves For Photosynthesis
- During Winter A New Leaf Pair, Or Occasionally More Than One, Grows Inside The Existing Fused Leaf Pair
- In Spring The Old Leaf Pair Parts To Reveal The New Leaves And The Old Leaves Will Then Dry Up
- Lithops Leaves May Shrink And Disappear Below Ground Level During Drought
- Lithops In Habitat Almost Never Have More Than One Leaf Pair Per Head, The Environment Is Just Too Arid To Support This
- Yellow Or White Flowers Emerge From The Fissure Between The Leaves After The New Leaf Pair Has Fully Matured, One Per Leaf Pair
- This Is Usually In Autumn, But Can Be Before The Summer Equinox In L
- Pseudotruncatella And After The Winter Equinox In L
- Optica
- The Flowers Are Often Sweetly Scented
- The Most Startling Adaptation Of Lithops Is The Colouring Of The Leaves
- The Leaves Are Not Green As In Almost All Higher Plants, But Various Shades Of Cream, Grey, And Brown, Patterned With Darker Windowed Areas, Dots, And Red Lines
- The Markings On The Top Surface Disguise The Plant In Its Surroundings
- Lithops Are Obligate Outcrossers And Require Pollination From A Separate Plant
- Like Most Mesembs, Lithops Fruit Is A Dry Capsule That Opens When It Becomes Wet; Some Seeds May Be Ejected By Falling Raindrops, And The Capsule Re-Closes When It Dries Out
- Capsules May Also Sometimes Detach And Be Distributed Intact, Or May Disintegrate After Several Years
- Lithops Occur Naturally Across Wide Areas Of Namibia And South Africa, As Well As Small Bordering Areas In Botswana And Possibly Angola, From Sea Level To High Mountains
- Nearly A Thousand Individual Populations Are Documented, Each Covering Just A Small Area Of Dry Grassland, Veld, Or Bare Rocky Ground
- Different Lithops Species Are Preferentially Found In Particular Environments, Usually Restricted To A Particular Type Of Rock
- Lithops Have Not Naturalised Outside This Region
- Rainfall In Lithops Habitats Ranges From Approximately 700Mm/Year To Near Zero
- Rainfall Patterns Range From Exclusively Summer Rain To Exclusively Winter Rain, With A Few Species Relying Almost Entirely On Dew Formation For Moisture
- Temperatures Are Usually Hot In Summer And Cool To Cold In Winter, But One Species Is Found Right At The Coast With Very Moderate Temperatures Year Round
- Lithops Are Popular Novelty House Plants And Many Specialist Succulent Growers Maintain Collections
- They Are Relatively Easy To Grow If Given Sufficient Sun And A Suitable Well Drained-Soil
- Normal Treatment In Mild Temperate Climates Is To Keep Them Completely Dry During Winter, Watering Only When The Old Leaves Have Dried Up And Been Replaced By A New Leaf Pair
- Watering Continues Through Autumn When The Plants Flower And Then Stopped For Winter
- The Best Results Are Obtained With Additional Heat Such As A Greenhouse
- In Hotter Climates Lithops Will Have A Summer Dormancy When They Should Be Kept Mostly Dry, And They May Require Some Water In Winter
- In Tropical Climates, Lithops Can Be Grown Primarily In Winter With A Long Summer Dormancy
- In All Conditions, Lithops Will Be Most Active And Need Most Water During Autumn And Each Species Will Flower At Approximately The Same Time
- Lithops Thrive Best In A Coarse, Well-Drained Substrate
- Any Soil That Retains Too Much Water Will Cause The Plants To Burst Their Skins As They Over-Expand
- Plants Grown In Strong Light Will Develop Hard Strongly Coloured Skins Which Are Resistant To Damage And Rot, Although Persistent Overwatering Will Still Be Fatal
- Excessive Heat Will Kill Potted Plants As They Cannot Cool Themselves By Transpiration And Rely On Staying Buried In Cool Soil Below The Surface
- Propagation Of Lithops Is By Seed Or Cuttings
- Cuttings Can Only Be Used To Produce New Plants After A Plant Has Naturally Divided To Form Multiple Heads, So Most Propagation Is By Seed
- Lithops Can Readily Be Pollinated By Hand , And Seed Will Be Ripe About 9 Months Later
- Seed Is Easy To Germinate, But The Seedlings Are Small And Vulnerable For The First Year Or Two
