Lithops (‘Lithops’ singular) are easily one of Earth's weirdest plants making them highly popular with succulent lovers. They're also infamous for being easy to kill. In fact, I bet we'd be hard pressed to find someone who has never killed a Lithops unless they've just never had one, and that doesn't count.
