Living stone are succulent plants native to South Africa, adapted to arid conditions and requiring minimal maintenance. These plants thrive in bright light with some direct sun, and prefer well-draining soil, like a cactus mix. Watering should be sparse, allowing the soil to dry out completely between applications, especially during dormant phases. Living stone are sensitive to overwatering, which can lead to root rot. Temperature fluctuations can be tolerated, but frost is to be avoided. Common challenges include mealybugs and fungal infections due to excess moisture. Seasonal care adjustments involve reduced watering in winter when the plant is dormant, and ensuring adequate sunlight and ventilation during hotter months.
