CactusArchive Stapelia Cutting

These are unrooted cuttings. They are fresh, healthy stems specifically selected for their ability to root easily once placed in a well-draining succulent soil mix.

Allow the cut end to callous over for a few days in a dry, shaded spot before placing it into a gritty, well-draining succulent potting mix. Keep the soil slightly moist but not soggy, and provide bright, indirect light until roots establish.

Stapelia and Huernia varieties thrive in bright, indirect light. While they are hardy, avoid harsh, direct midday sun, which can scorch the stems, especially while they are still rooting.

These plants are hardy down to 30°F, so they can handle light frost for short periods. However, if you live in a climate with freezing winters, it is best to bring them indoors or keep them in a greenhouse during the colder months.

Stapelia and Huernia species are generally considered non-toxic to cats and dogs. However, it is always best practice to keep all houseplants out of reach of curious pets to prevent accidental ingestion.

The mystery cutting is selected from our current stock of healthy, unique succulent varieties that complement the Stapelia family. It will share similar care requirements to the other cuttings in your pack, making it easy to integrate into your collection.
