Description:
Pleasant succulent characterized by slender cylindrical stems that do not exceed heights of about one meter, tending to prostrate towards the ground and assume creeping character. The stems have a quadrangular section, with ribs well spaced and adorned with soft teeth but well protruding. The epidermis assumes grey-bluish shades that tend to purple when the specimen is abundantly exposed to sunlight. The true strength of Caralluma joannis is however the inflorescence: in late summer its stems, near the apex, are enriched by a corolla of small groups of peculiar stelliform flowers, whose velvety cream-coloured surface is delicately streaked with dark colors until it fades towards burgundy on the tips, for a truly breathtaking final effect!

Plant care:
It requires a lot of light throughout the year, however, avoid direct sunlight especially during the hottest hours of the day.
It is preferable to keep it at mild temperatures and never below 8 °C, for this reason it is recommended to shelter it during the winter period.
Water moderately only when the soil is completely dry. It is enough to water the plant once a week in spring and summer, once every two months in autumn and winter.
A well draining soil is an optimal solution, for example formed by a mix of peat and pumice so that water does not stagnate.
They do not need frequent fertilization, it is sufficient to dilute the fertilizer with watering once a year.
