Pruning lithops bromfieldii — FAQ
When should I prune lithops bromfieldii?
No pruning needed — allow old leaves to dry naturally. Do not cut any leaves. When old leaves are fully desiccated, they can be gently peeled away to reveal the new pair beneath. Intervening before they are fully dry risks damaging the emerging body.
How often does lithops bromfieldii need pruning?
Never — only remove fully dead leaf husks. Lithops bromfieldii (living stones) should never be pruned. The plant's natural cycle involves the old leaf pair drying and papering away while a new pair emerges from within. Simply let the old leaves shrivel and peel away on their own — never cut them off, as this can harm the new growth beneath.
