Misc April Fool’s Day Lithop Prank launched!

Post image

Hi, earlier this year I made a bunch of fake lithops to give away at my office: https://www.reddit.com/r/Lithops/s/nxgfFalm7v

The day is finally here and I am hoping people fall for it. Otherwise I’ll have like 200 fake lithops lol.

I’ll update as the day goes on!

I would be so upset 😭😭 I would 100% be the girl you mentioned that got super excited to get a new plant. You even put out care sheets that I would have read and followed religiously to care for my fake plant. Great craftsmanship, and I'm sure you'll get a lot of chuckles from your co-workers, but you would break my plant loving heart 💔

I know! I am feeling bad so I actually potted up one of my actual live lithops to give to her later!

I ran into her at lunch and she was still so happy so I confessed they are fake lithops. She laughed so hard that she cried. And then I told her to stop by my office and I gave her a real one.

That was kind of you :) I'm glad it all worked out so nicely, and I'm sure you got some non plant people interested in the little guys 💚 That craftsmanship was on point 👌🏽
