Echidnopsis cereformis A easy to grow Stapeliad with snake like stems and tiny yellow flowers. The flowers are just a few millimeters wide but it flowers regularly during the warmer months unlike a lot of the showier Stapeliads that bloom once a year or so.
People tend to shy away from Stapeliads because of their reputation for being rot prone, but actually they are simple to grow. Give lots of light, but protect from hot afternoon sun in summer. During the growing season they can be watered as much as any other succulent (i.e. regularly but don't let the soil stay wet). In the winter keep totally dry unless you are growing it in a greenhouse. Cool and wet or low light and wet are what rot this and all other Stapeliads. Cool and dry or low light and dry in the winter and you should be fine. Stem cuttings root easily.
You will receive a plant shown in the last image. Plants shown in a 3.5" pot.
Important Shipping Information
- PLANTS ARE SHIPPED BARE ROOT If you want me to send them in pots send me a message to discuss. Extra charges due to increased shipping costs will apply.
- Immediate Payment (eBay only) Sorry! I can no longer offer a delayed purchase option as the multichannel inventory management system I have started using requires this setting.
- No Delayed Shipping (eBay only) Once you pay I have to (and WILL) ship within 3 business days or eBay will lower my seller rating. I used to have a way to delay shipping but can no longer do this for the same reason as #2 above. Feel free to message me before buying to see if we can figure something out here, no promises though.
- Winter Shipping If you live in a cold climate consider including a 96 hour heat pack in your order during the cold months. I have them as a listing. Just add it to your order. If you don’t see them just message me.
Thank you!
