Lithops julii is a small succulent with cone-shaped bodies made of two gray to pinkish-grey leaves with brown markings. It can grow solitary or form clumps of up to 15 bodies. The top often has rubrications, creating a "lip smear," a distinctive feature of the species. The leaves are thick, fleshy, and flat to slightly convex at the top. The leaves are divided into two halves, forming a cleft or slit in the middle. This distinctive feature allows the plant to blend seamlessly with its rocky surroundings, providing it with natural camouflage from predators. Lithops julii typically reaches a mature size of around 2 inches wide.  

When Lithops julii blooms, it produces beautiful daisy-like flowers that emerge from the cleft between its leaves. The flowers can vary in color, ranging from white, yellow, pink, or orange. The blooming period usually occurs during the late summer or early autumn, adding a delightful burst of color to these already captivating plants. 

Lithops, adapted to intense sunlight in the wild, require ample direct sunlight indoors. Insufficient sunlight can cause slender growth and loss of coloration in Lithops julii. Lithop plants can tolerate high temperatures as long as they have fresh air, but they are not cold-hardy and can be grown outdoors in USDA zones 10–11. 

Lithops living stones plants require well-draining soil to prevent root rot. It's important to water these Lithops plants sparingly, allowing the lithops soil to dry out between waterings. Overwatering can be detrimental to their health.
