[1] Lithops lesliei is found in rocky areas of grasslands and savannah where it grows in the shade of another plant.

This species can be found in the summer-rainfall areas of South Africa although it is not endemic.

The plants have recently seen a 15% cut in numbers with predictions that this trend will continue.

The principal rule of watering is that Lithops should be kept dry from when they finish flowering, up until the old leaf-pairs are fully replaced.

This plant is a recipient of the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.
