Description:
Beautiful succulent with small dimensions. It has very fleshy stems, of pale green colour with elongated and pointed tubercles. It grows by branching at the base. The inflorescences are very appreciated by the collectors: similar to those of the Stapelia, the big star-shaped flowers have a velvety look and have very strong and particular colours. They emanate a very characteristic smell, it is just unpleasant but in nature improves the pollination. The flowering period begins in summer and lasts until early autumn.

Plant care:
It requires a lot of light throughout the year, however, avoid direct sunlight. In autumn they need much more light and heat so they will bloom abundantly.
It is preferable to keep it at mild temperatures and never below 10 °C, for this reason it is recommended to shelter it during the winter period.
Water moderately and only when the soil is completely dry. It is enough to water it once a week in spring and summer, reduce it to once every two months in autumn and to suspend it completely in winter.
The best soil is a well-draining one, even better if further enriched with inert materials such as pumice, sand or lapilli.
They do not need frequent fertilization, it is sufficient to dilute the fertilizer with watering once a year.
