Stapelia flavopurpurea
Stapeliad
Description
Stapelia flavopurpurea is a unique and intriguing succulent, prized for its unusual flowers and ease of care. This plant is stem-like, with four-angled stems that are a green color, sometimes with purple or reddish markings. The real showstopper is its flowers, which are large, star-shaped, and covered in velvety hairs. The flowers typically have a yellowish-purple or brownish color, with intricate patterns and designs. Stapelia flavopurpurea thrives in well-draining soil and enjoys bright, indirect sunlight. Water sparingly, as overwatering can lead to rot. Keep it in a warm, dry location, as it is not frost-tolerant. The smell might be strong, so position it outdoors.
