West Sussex, United Kingdom
Succulent that looks like pebbles.
Name this plant please!
My daughter has taken an interest in succulents which she grows indoors. She has asked me to look out for one that looks like stones but I can't find such a thing in the local garden centres.
Thank you

Also Split Rock (Pleiospilos), and Window Plant (Fenestraria).

Don't think those names are used in the UK Tug.

Well, whatever the common name, those genera have many members that imitate rocks in their native habitat. Some species of Haworthia, such as H. pygmaea also imitate stones, and a few cacti make a good imitation, too, such as Ariocarpus species.

Quite simply it is called the Pebble Plant - 'Lithops karasmontana'. A nice, easy plant to grow.
