Any alternatives for lithops? I can only get lithops seeds and I'm not too comfortable with buying seeds as they might be fake. So what are some lithops alternatives that have a stony look? Current list:
-Haworthia cooperi
-Crassula Ovulata "Gollum"
-Haworthia redusa

Any others? I'm planning to put them in my room.

Actual stones?

(I'm joking. Try Lowe's or Home Depot if they exist in the area, they usually have some in the garden section for like $3 a small pot. Alternately, Ebay.)

Get some lithop seeds off ebay from a seller with positive feedback, that's what I did, a long term seller won't ruin their reputation for what should be a small amount of money

Do they ship international? I dont like international buys because $5 can become $500

I'll try to find them. Ace exists here so I guess Lowes and HD might.
