Habit: Crawling and decumbent.
Stem: Long, green that acquire a purple colour when are exposed in full sun.
Flower: Tiny little star shaped,  have very great colour: yellow, green. orange, or purple, white, with maroon overtones and centres. The combination of colours is quite bizarre and lovely, very variable, even on the same plant; they have a light sweet smell like liquorice, unusual in the Stapelia group.. Flowers with these scents may well be pollinated by bee.
Phenology: Blossoming generally occurs in summer or autumn, according to the temperatures.

Propagation: The multiplication is easy: Take away a fresh stem, let dry the cut surface, then put it out of ground, simply posed on the substrate in semi-shade.

Cultivation: It needs regular watering, especially abundant during the hottest summer day, waterings will begin at the first signs of vegetation and could be stopped in autumn, either excessive and very scarce watering can induce rot. It resists temperatures approaching of 0° C (under good conditions), but it is more cautious to provide it a minimum of  8 to 10°C. It take a great advantaged if grown in very strong light but does not have to be in full sun during the hottest hours. Keep the plant in a ventilated and dry environments. The potting mix must be drained but nutrient. The main problems is to avoid the “black spots” disease and other rots which can in a very short time destroy the plants. If rots starts the plant will almost inevitably die.
