Oophytum nanum is a succulent plant from South Africa, in the Aizoaceae family. It is commonly known as Living Stones snd it is a succulent that closely resembles a pile of stones. They clump with age and the colours range from green, to orange through to a purple-brown colour. The colouring changes with the age of the plant and with the season. Each individual 'stone' can reach 10cm in height. Oophytum Species grow best in coarse, sandy substrate. They love rather shallow but comparatively wide pots, where the substrate does not become wet and clammy in the deep part easily; under such conditions, they will over the years grow to form large clumps.
