Product Description

Stapelia villetiae is a fascinating and rare succulent species known for its unique star-shaped flowers and intriguing appearance. Native to the arid regions of Southern Africa, this clump-forming succulent features four-angled, green stems covered in fine, fuzzy hairs. Its most notable feature is its large, starfish-like flowers, typically maroon or dark purple, with textured surfaces. These flowers emit a carrion-like odor, attracting flies for pollination. Stapelia villetiae is highly prized by succulent collectors due to its exotic blooms. Growing it from seeds requires patience but rewards with its unusual and bold flowers.
