I grew (and killed) lots of 'living stones' when I was a kid. It is a real exercise in patience to not water them - I suppose if your only houseplants were Lithops, it would make things simpler at least. Maybe I should devote a single window to them to see if I can force myself to stay away longer.

I have a few lithops, they are hardy but I have not managed to keep the all alive they need water from splashing rain drops but not directly applied water in my experience. I shelter them from direct rain and it seems heat and cold are not a concern. I have had one flower but I was away so I have never seen a flower in full bloom. I have seen a coue split in two, to form two separate individuals, something Wikipedia says they don't do. really good plants if you travel a lot.
