This plants habitat is in South Africa. This is the actual plant that you will receive. This rooted stem cutting is shown in a 6” pot. The plant grows best in filtered sun. Water the plant lightly in the summer but let it dry out during the winter. The plant spreads as it grows. The flower color is a spotted yellow-tan with dark red, and is star shaped. The stems are somewhat fragile and may break off during shipping. Buyer must accept this risk. We pack them as best we can for safe travel.

We only use our own photos that we have personally shot, we do not use photos taken from the internet. Flower photos and mature specimen reference photos are from our own plants in our nursery, or in some cases from other sources (Habitat, Botanical Gardens, etc.) but they are always photos that we have personally taken.

We take great pride in providing the highest quality photos we can. We use professional photo studio lights and a DSLR camera to display the plants as accurately as possible with the correct colors and textures.
