Product Description

Lithops hookeri v. hookeri stands out as a remarkable South African succulent that captures attention with its unique, pebble-like appearance. This endemic Lithops species, often called a living stones plant, mimics the small stones around it, helping it blend perfectly into its natural environment. Its compact, fleshy leaves form pairs, creating a rounded shape with a striking vermiculate pattern that resembles tiny worm-like markings.

The hookeri variety displays fascinating textures and colors. These succulent leaves show shades of grey, green, and brown with intricate patterns that offer natural camouflage. Such designs give the plant an artistic and decorative touch, making it a prized specimen for collectors. Lithops hookeri also produces beautiful flowers that emerge between the leaf pairs, usually in autumn, featuring daisy-like petals in white or yellow tones.

  • Leaves appear as smooth, rounded pebbles with vermiculate markings.
  • Compact growth habit that resembles small stones.
  • Produces vibrant, daisy-shaped flowers in autumn.
  • Color variations include grey, green, and earthy browns.
  • Adapted to dry, rocky South African habitats.

As a classic example of a living stones plant, Lithops hookeri v. hookeri enchants gardeners with its unusual morphology and survival strategy. Its delicate patterns and flower blooms add ornamental charm to any succulent collection. This plant truly represents the fascinating diversity of endemic Lithops species from the African continent.
