Plant Description

The Stapelia hirsuta is a striking, low-growing succulent known for its fleshy, four-angled stems covered in fine, soft hairs. These green, sprawling stems can develop a reddish hue under intense sunlight. The most remarkable feature of Stapelia hirsuta is its large, star-shaped flowers, which can reach up to 15 cm in diameter. These blooms have a velvety, hairy texture and range from deep red to mottled purple, often emitting a carrion-like scent to attract pollinators such as flies. This unusual but beautiful succulent thrives in dry, warm environments.
