Lithops, commonly known as living stones, are unusual succulents that appear almost alien-like. Considered one of the most unique types of succulents, lithops have evolved to mimic the appearance of rocks in their native habitats across much of southern Africa.
For those interested in rock garden ideas, lithops grow in rocky regions of the world, growing in places of extreme heat and with limited water. Their pebble-like appearance prevents predators from munching their leaves and protects the plant from the sun's rays.
