Stapelia Variegata 130mm

Stapelia variegata is a low-growing succulent known for its unusual star-shaped flowers and segmented stems. It suits bright, dry environments.

This plant forms clumping, angular stems that grow close to the soil surface. Its most distinctive feature is its large, star-shaped flowers that appear seasonally and create strong visual contrast.

It is often collected for its unusual bloom structure and compact growth habit. It performs best in warm, dry conditions with good airflow.
