Lithops, commonly known as “living stones,” are small, slow-growing mesembs from southern Africa, prized for their unique stone-like appearance and intricate leaf markings. Their subtle patterns, seasonal flowering, and compact growth make them highly sought after by collectors around the world. At Desert Plants Ltd, we offer a curated selection of Lithops species and cultivars, including both common and rarer forms. All plants are grown slowly under UK conditions to ensure healthy, well-established specimens rather than mass-produced stock. We provide Lithops in a range of sizes, from small single heads and young seed-grown plants through to larger, mature clusters. Smaller plants are ideal for growers wishing to cultivate specimens long-term, while mature clusters are perfect for collectors looking for established, characterful plants. Availability varies seasonally, reflecting the plants’ natural growth and dormancy cycles. Most Lithops are active from spring through autumn, and enter dormancy during the summer months. This page is updated regularly as new plants become available.
