Mutant lithops

A funky take on our classic lithops, we have been quietly collecting the weirdest and most unusual ones we come across. We're pleased to introduce mutant lithops. One of a kind, what you see is what you get!

Normally mutant houseplants get chucked in the green bin at nurseries, but here at NODE, we love things that are unusual and weird, and we know that someone out there might love them too!

Lithops is one of those plants you simply must see to believe. Nicknamed the "Living Stone" due to their uncanny resemblance to pebbles, these peculiar little succulents are native to southern Africa. These mimicry plants thrive in harsh, compacted soil and can take the full brunt of desert conditions, which means that as houseplants, they're great for small containers and require very little maintenance. As each plant is a little bit different, Lithops is must for your collection of arid oddballs.

PLANT CARE

• Light: Bright diffused to direct light; 4-5 hours of early sun is ideal
• Water: Let soil completely dry between waterings
• Considerations: Use a well-draining cactus/succulent soil, and select a planter with drainage. This plant needs very little water, especially in winter

WHAT TO EXPECT

You'll get a healthy Lithop that meets our rigorous quality standards in a 6cm nursery pot, other planters are sold separately. No two plants are alike, and yours will have its own unique shape, size, and personality; expect this natural variation from the photos.
