Lithops salicola is a species of perennial plant in the family Aizoaceae, often called living stones,[1] because of its resemblance to round grey pebbles.

Lithops salicola has two coupled leaves, divided by a fissure through which the flowers appear.

Like all Lithops species, it requires extremely well-drained soil.

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

[5][3] In the United Kingdom L. salicola has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.
