HAWORTHIA AND SUCCULENT AUCTION



This blog is dedicated to plants from desert regions around the world as well as plants that have adapted to withstand arid conditions, but do not occur in real deserts. Many of the plants are found in arid semi-desert regions. There will be a greater emphasis on succulent plants, but others will also be included. This blog deals with desert plants of the Americas, Africa, Arabia and others. We are situated in South Africa and South African plants are likely to feature more dominantly. The pictures taken are from our private botanical desert garden at Leopoort near Oudtshoorn, from plants in nature, as well as other collections.

Stapelia hirsuta var. hirsuta


Stapelia hirsuta var. hirsuta has a wide distribution from Namaqualand southwards to the Western Cape and from there eastwards to the Little Karoo as well as the southern perimeter of the Great Karoo.

The stems are quadrangular and erect and similar to many others in the genus. The showy flowers are highly variable throughout the distribution range.

The cultivation of Stapelia hirsuta var. hirsuta is easy and similar to Stapelia in general. Good drainage is essential to prevent rot.

Propagation is from seed or cuttings.
