Stapelia Leendertziae Cristata
Stapelia Leendertziae Cristata – Rare Crested Beauty!
Offered from my private succulent collection: Stapelia Leendertziae Cristata, a fascinating and rare form originally from Africa. Grown organically in a self-mixed, permeable substrate - 100% organic quality before quantity! Robust, healthy, and slow-growing, this stunning plant is already capable of flowering within 1-2 years.
Potted in a breathable mix, no over-fertilization, and needing repotting only every 1-2 years. Perfect for a semi-shaded yet bright location - just be sure to avoid waterlogging.
When it blooms, it displays breathtaking red-yellow striped flowers with delicate white fringes. But beware - the scent mimics rotting flesh, evolved to attract flies, its natural pollinators! "Love stinks" they say - but the beauty of Stapelia Leendertziae Cristata is absolutely unforgettable.
Not winter-hardy. Grows best indoors or in a protected conservatory. A true gem for succulent lovers and collectors alike!
