Cactus flowers.

Today I'm showing you a cactus with flowers, I know that a lot of people don't get to see some cacti when they bloom.

The first cactus I want to show you is this succulent, Its scientific name is Stapelia Gigantea.

It's a succulent and its genus is Stapelia and its species Gigantea.

It comes from Africa.

It's a plant with a thick, green stem, with four sides and wavy edges.

It doesn't tolerate direct exposure to the sun. Its substrate is the same as that of cacti and succulents, with good drainage and little humidity.

The reproduction of this plant is facilitated through the children or small stems of the plant. So long as they're in the same conditions as the mother plant.

Its flowers are very large, larger than the plant itself, reaching more than 40 cm. Although its appearance is very pleasant to the eye due to its colors, the smell it has is not pleasant... It smells like carrion, like a dead animal.

It's a good idea to place this plant in an open environment so that the smell does not disturb your surroundings.

Huernia:

This succulent is very similar to the previous one, the difference is that the stem is not made up of four sides, it's cylindrical and covered with applications that look like thorns.

Its color is light green and when their stems reproduce and grow they have to bend down due to weight. That's why they can be seen in hanging baskets.

They reproduce through stems of the same plant and placed in suitable soil, with good substrate and drainage, you'll have a new plant.

The flower is this small, with a deep red center and star-shaped tips.
