Description:

The crested shape of this specimen has a fan-shaped crest that will never be identical in two or more different specimens, even of the same species. This mutation makes each individual plant one of a kind. D. foetida in Chinese is called 臭 琉 桑 "Smelly Mulberry". Its green, erect conical-shaped stem can branch, with bright green lance-shaped leaves with noticeable veins arising from the apex of the branches. In spring the very particular inflorescences arise from the long peduncle, green, greyish and orange in colour. Along the edges of the flowers you can notice long "tentacles" that make this plant unique and special.

Plant care:

They grow well in dimness but require a lot of undirected light.

It is preferable to keep it at mild temperatures and never below 15 °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 it once a week in spring and summer, reduce watering to once every two months in autumn and to suspend it completely in winter.

The best soil is a well draining one, 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.
