Among the varieties of Staparesie we can note: S. meintjesii and S. barklyi. L’ The natural habitat of both parents enjoys a mild climate, with high temperatures and they have adapted for survival; the same physiological characteristics have been inherited. They therefore prefer bright, airy environments, while during the hottest hours of the day it is advisable to place them in partial shade.
