Guide
The species-level account. Cultivar pages build on this and say where they differ.
Lithops aucampiae is a stemless succulent in the Aizoaceae, the "living stones," built to store water in two swollen leaves and endure long arid dry spells. Give it strong direct light and a gritty, fast-draining mineral mix, and water only sparingly once the soil is fully dry and the leaves feel slightly soft — err toward drought, as sitting wet rots it quickly. Withhold water entirely during dormancy while the old leaf pair shrivels and is replaced.
