Stapelia Leendertziae Cristata from own succulent collection; originating from Africa (where it is considered as a basic form - not "Cristata" - even partly as an invasive plant); becomes quite compact with time; potted in well-drained, self-mixed organic substrate in a clay pot; repotting only desired in 2-3 years, not overfertilised, therefore robust & healthy (100% organic quality before quantity!), slow growing, already flowering in 1-2 years, not hardy, for a half-shady - but still sufficiently bright location, please no waterlogging; much joy with your new Stapelia Leendertziae in the unique "Cristata" form!

"Love stinks", at least when Stapelia Leendertziae is in flower. It bears beautiful, eye-catching, red and yellow striped flowers with white fringes, in whose pattern you can get lost. However, if you bend down to smell, you will be surprised to detect a smell of rotting flesh. This is how the stapelia has evolved to attract its native pollinators, the flies! It likes to form clumps and flowers from spring to autumn, but really gets going in summer when each new growth bears one of its large flowers, which are sure to impress.
