Pseudolithos cubiformis Family: Apocynaceae One of the rarest and most unusual Stapeliads! The plant lives up to its name which means "Cube shaped false rock". The cube shaped part isn't evident when young but as it matures it takes on a distinct square shape. Flowers are hairy beige-pink and have the distinct carrion smell Stapeliads are famous for.
Pseudolithos are infamously touchy plants and you should only get one if you are an experienced succulent grower. They need very well drained soil and should be watered sparingly. During the warmer months water when the soil dries out. During cooler months water minimally if at all. Overwatering can turn these plants to mush surprisingly fast. Needs good light. In low light the plant is green, in high light it turns beige to brown.
You will receive the plant shown in images 1-3. Plants shown in a 2" pot. Last image shows a mature plant in flower.
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.
