It forms clumps of up to 50 bodies, which are thick, fleshy, and green gray. The upper surface is smooth, kidney-shaped. The leaves are thick and fleshy, designed to store water during dry periods. They have a distinct window-like area on the top surface, which allows light to penetrate and aids in photosynthesis. 

The flowers of Lithops salicola are beautiful and daisy-like; emerge from the center of the Lithops plant. The flowers can vary in color, ranging from white, yellow, pink, or orange. They usually bloom in late summer or fall and add a splash of color to these already interesting Lithops plants.

They go dormant in late summer, and water should be restricted to prevent bursting leaves. Watering is safe during this period, but leaves will continue into winter. Stop watering as older leaves shrivel.
