Hoodia Gordonii
Add a touch of the exotic to your succulent collection with the intriguing Hoodia Gordonii, a rare and fascinating succulent native to the Kalahari Desert in Southern Africa. Known for its unique appearance and historical use as an appetite suppressant by the San people, this slow-growing plant is a true conversation starter and a must-have for any plant enthusiast.
Features:
Unique Appearance: Stout, cylindrical stems with spiny tubercles and prominent ridges create a distinctive look, reminiscent of a Bushman’s hat.
Rare and Protected: Due to overharvesting and slow growth, this species is considered endangered and is protected in its natural habitat. Cultivated specimens offer a unique opportunity to admire its beauty.
Fascinating Flowers: Produces large, fleshy flowers with a distinct carrion-like scent, attracting flies for pollination.
Easy Care: This drought-tolerant succulent thrives in well-draining soil with minimal watering, making it suitable for even beginner gardeners.
Care Tips:
Light: Prefers full sun to partial shade.
Water: Water sparingly during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Water even less frequently in winter.
Soil: Use a well-draining cactus or succulent mix.
The succulent plant housed in the red pot comes in a 130mm diameter container. While the image provides a representative depiction of what you will receive, but may vary slightly because no two succulents are the same.
