Hoodia parviflora
Endemic to north-western Namibia and south-western Angola, Hoodia parviflora is often found growing within shrubland. Rows of spiky tubercles cause this leafless succulent to often be mistaken for a cactus, it's able to grow over two metres tall making it the largest of all the stapeliads. Clusters of large yellow blooms appear during the summer months, producing a foul putrid smell to attract its pollinators.
Watering
Water when soil is dry 100%. Water lightly (if at all) during winter months.
Light requirements
Full sun.
Feed
Use a cactus fertiliser 3 times between March - November.
Repotting
It can stay in the same pot for a number of years as it is such a slow growing plant. If it does ever become too small for the pot it is in, repot into one size up and use a well draining cactus compost, adding extra drainage such as perlite, pumice or grit.

See available sizes below. Please note that, due to their natural variability, specimens' height may be within 10-20% of the stated height below.
