We only sell freshly harvested seeds from small time growers, hobbyists and collectors. Listing is for 3 Seeds Stapelia grandiflora is a tufted cactus-like plant with large and showy star-fish shaped flowers. Stapelia grandiflora is a very variable species with many hybrids both in the wild and in cultivation. This species meets and intergrades with Stapelia hirsuta in the little Karoo and the two (quite similar) species can be separated by its thicker pedicel. Seed - takes about a year to ripen, but germinates rapidly after sowing. Fresh seed usually germinates better. Sow the seed in a container in a well-drained, light, sandy soil mixed with compost and cover with a thin layer of soil. Keep the temperature at 25 - 35c, in a shaded and fairly moist position. Keep seedlings well ventilated and in good light to prevent damping off. Once the seedlings are about 50mm high, they can be pricked out and planted (be careful not to damage the roots when pricking out!)
