Succulents - Stapelia berlindensis seeds

Stapelia is a genus of low-growing, spineless, stem succulent plants, predominantly from South Africa with a few from other parts of Africa. Several Asian and Latin American species were formerly included but they have all now been transferred to other genera. The flowers of certain species, most notably Stapelia gigantea, can reach 41 cm (16 inches) in diameter when fully open. 

Very easy to maintain and requires very little water.
The flowering period is between May and September.

We recommend a pot with a diameter of 20 cm so that the plant has enough space to grow.
