Scientific Name: Stapelia hirsuta
Common Names: African Starfish Flower, Hairy Carion Plant
Overview: The Stapelia hirsuta, also known as the ‘Starfish Flower’ or ‘Hairy Carrion Flower’, is a fascinating succulent native to South Africa. This distinctive plant is renowned for its unique, star-shaped flowers that boast an intricate pattern of hairy, maroon, or reddish-brown petals. The flowers, which can reach up to 6 inches in diameter, emit a strong odor resembling that of decaying flesh, a clever adaptation to attract pollinating insects.
Growing Stapelia hirsuta is an intriguing choice for succulent enthusiasts seeking an unusual addition to their collection. This low-maintenance plant thrives in well-draining soil, requiring minimal water and preferring bright, indirect light. It is well-suited to container gardening, making it a perfect indoor specimen or outdoor plant in warmer climates.
