Orbea Melanantha Succulent Plants

Orbea melanantha is a distinct stapeliad characterized by stout stems measuring 80 to 100 mm tall. On younger stems, the denticles on the stem teeth are highly prominent, but as the stems thicken with age, these denticles reduce to subtle scars.

This rare succulent is prized for its architectural form and deep purple star-shaped flowers. It thrives in bright light and well-draining soil, making it a standout in any collector’s display or succulent garden.
