Lithops Red Top — often called “Living Stones” or “Pebble Plants” — are fascinating succulents that mimic the look of small stones or pebbles. The Red Top variety is prized for its reddish, pinkish, or orange-toned tops, giving it a distinctive and colorful appearance among Lithops species.
🌿 About Lithops Red Top
· Botanical group: Lithops genus (Aizoaceae family)
· Common name: Red Top Lithops, Living Stone
· Growth habit: Very compact, low-growing succulent consisting of two fused leaves (called lobes) that form a split down the middle.
· Color: The “Red Top” variety displays shades of red, rust, pink, or maroon on the upper surface — the color intensifies under strong sunlight.
🌞 Light Requirements
· Needs bright sunlight — ideally 4–6 hours of direct sun daily.
· In low light, the colors fade and the plant may elongate (a condition called etiolation).
· Indoors: Place near a south- or west-facing window.
💧 Watering
Lithops follow a unique watering cycle:
· Spring & Fall: Active growth phase — water sparingly only when soil is fully dry.
· Summer: Dormant — avoid watering (may cause rot).
· Winter: Old leaves dry up and new pair emerges — do not water until new leaves are fully developed.
💡 Overwatering is the most common reason for Lithops death!
🌱 Soil
· Use a very well-draining mix, such as:
o 50–70% pumice, coarse sand, or perlite
o 30–50% cactus soil or fine gravel
· Avoid organic or moisture-retaining soils.
🪴 Container
· Choose a shallow pot with good drainage holes.
· Lithops have a small root system and prefer to stay snug in their pot.
🌡️ Temperature
· Ideal range: 18–28°C (65–82°F)
· Protect from frost (below 10°C / 50°F).
· Tolerates heat if shaded during the hottest part of the day.
🌸 Flowers
· Blooms usually in autumn.
· Produces daisy-like flowers (often white or yellow) from the central fissure.
· After flowering, a new pair of leaves grows, replacing the old ones.
