Grow a garden of living stones with our Lithops Mix (Living Stone) Seeds! These plants are a must-have for the succulent enthusiast, or collector of odd and unique plants.
These seeds grow slowly, so we recommend using the following to sow the seeds:
Prep moist, well-draining medium consisting of a mix of potting mix and perlite and plant the seeds on the surface. Cover the seeds lightly with sand and make sure that the medium remains moist until the seeds germinate by covering the planter with a plastic cover(ziploc bag, plastic wrap, lid, etc). Keep the seeds around 70-80F and well lit. Most should sprout within 12 weeks, and if conditions are right, some can germinate within a couple of weeks.
Make sure the soil remains moist but not soggy. The older the seedlings get, the more you can allow the soil to dry out between waterings.
Lithops have their dormant season during summer, so it's best not to water them then. Keep them very brightly lit.

These seeds are for the 2026 growing season.
