Inside a legendary Lithops collection: care, colours and cultivars

In this video, we step inside a massive, anonymous greenhouse to explore a Lithops collection that has been 70 years in the making. With several thousand plants hidden away, this is a rare look at what a lifetime of obsession looks like. But this isn't just a tour. We dive deep into the biology of Lithops (Living Stones) and ask a strange question: Did these plants evolve their patterned windows and slow life cycles to survive the desert, or to trap obsessed collectors? We also cover the essential care guides for keeping these "living antiques" alive, from the specific mineral mixes they need to the exact moments you must stop watering. 🌵 SUPPORT THE CHANNEL & BUY PLANTS Grab Arid Zine merch, join the Patreon, and shop the plant store: 👉 https://AridZine.com.au 🔍 PLANTS & CULTIVARS FEATURED A list of the specific Living Stones discussed in this episode: • Lithops lesliei • Lithops aucampiae • Lithops optica (incl.
