You will get the Caralluma Speciosa shown.


Origin and Habitat: Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Somalia, Ethiopia, probably also in Djibouti or Eritrea.

It is found in tropical on dry rocky savanna or semi-desert sandy lowland habitat.

This is one of the big clumping Caralluma that can reach one meter in height. It bears at the apex a many-flowered clusters of brownish-black flowers.
Stem: 30-80 cm tall (but occasionally up to 120 cm tall), 2-3 cm thick, tetragonal, euphorbia-like, rather soft,
flowes are reddish-brown with small yellow dots. Flower margins are dark maroon or black.

Caralluma speciosa is relatively easy to grow. It needs regular watering, especially during the hottest summer days; provide also some light watering if the green house temperatures in winter are elevated. Either excessive or very scarce watering can induce rot.
Winter temperatures must be kept over 50° F, But it can withstand winter night-time temperatures down to about 42° F (or less) for short period. Freezing temperatures are fatal.

It prefers to be in full sun when it is a mature plant. Bloom faster in bright sunlight. It must acclimatize to its new environment before exposing it to the sun, (this plant has been in partial shade, it should not be exposed to the sun immediately).

Provide very good ventilation. It grows quite easily and fast on its own roots.
