Product Description

This listing is for a unique **crested variety** of the plant. It exhibits the same blooming characteristics as the standard version, but with a striking, coral-like or brain-like appearance due to its distinctive growth pattern.


Stapelia leendertziae, commonly known as Black Bells or Carrion Flower, is a fascinating succulent native to South Africa. It forms clump- or carpet-forming stems that are green with grey streaks and have small tubercles on the angles. The stems are quadrangular and can grow up to 8 inches (20 cm) long and 1 inch (2.5 cm) thick. Produces large, purple-brown to dark purple, bell-shaped flowers that can reach up to 3.2 inches (8 cm) in length. The flowers have a unique appearance and emit a smell reminiscent of decaying flesh to attract pollinators. Native to the mountains of the northeastern escarpment of South Africa, extending into Swaziland. It grows in subtropical or tropical dry shrubland and rocky areas

 

Origination: South Africa 

Recommended Uses: Ornamental, Collectable

Height: 1Ft

Hardiness: USDA 10+ Flower Color: Dark Red/Maroon

Other Names: Carrion Flower 

 

Growing Instructions: 

Prefers full sun to partial shade. It thrives in strong light but should be protected from the harshest midday sun. Requires typical succulent watering—allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot. Use a well-draining cactus or succulent mix. Adding perlite or sand can enhance drainage. Thrives in warm temperatures, ideally between 60°F to 80°F (15°C to 27°C). It does not handle frost well and should be kept indoors in colder climates. Moderate humidity levels are preferred. Mist occasionally if the air is too dry.

Ships in the 3.5” pots shown in the pictures. You will receive a plant that is very similar to the plants pictured however they may have grown some or depending on the time of year, they could be semi-dormant. Some plants will drop their leaves in winter - Crown of Thorns, Buddha Belly Jatropha, Etc. I have only grown plants in Florida and will send out anything I feel comfortable will grow here. It is up to you to know the conditions that these plants grow in the part of the country you reside. If your plant arrives rotting or dead, we will replace it for you. Please contact me with photo proof within 24 hours of delivery of your plants. It is my commitment to provide you with a live, healthy plant. Please note that minor cosmetic damage, such as a few broken leaves or small stems, may occur during transit and is a common risk inherent in the shipping process. Again, we cannot guarantee that some leaves won’t be broken or fall off- It is normal to lose some depending on the variety (Sedum, Echeveria, Cotyledon, Graptopetalum, etc...). Many kinds of leaves will re-root and grow into a new plant. Some that do not are Cotyledon and Aeonium. After 24 hours, my job is done and it is up to you (The buyer) to know how to keep it alive. 

Heat packs are available for purchase with your item to use if cold weather is expected at the time of shipment. (Link to Heat Pack: bit.ly/40ugd4J ) Keep in mind some plants we carry are very tropical and even cold, not freezing, temperatures can kill them. I will cancel any order I feel won't make it safely to its destination without freezing. 📌IF YOU EXPECT COLD WEATHER, PLEASE PURCHASE A HEAT PACK! 📌 I don't make any profit off of them because they are a necessary shipping item in winter. 

❗LOOK!!❗
Items cannot be shipped to CALIFORNIA or ARIZONA due to state import laws. Any orders from these states will be canceled. My apologies for this inconvenience.

Great product quality
Color: Black
This had literally everything I was looking for, but… just too large for the area I wanted it in. Check the measurements and compare that to your actual space. If they had about 1/2 to 1/3 of this size I would snatch it up in a heartbeat. It has a groove for your phone charging cable and the moving magnetic dividers are genius. I’m looking for something to put on my nightstand to allow the phone to charge at night but face down. Extra section for earrings or hair accessories, etc would be great. This has that potential. Just needed it smaller.

Versatile organizer for men or women
Color: Black, Color: Black
This is a just drawer organizer tray or nightstand organizer that is very handsome with wood grain and metal the two bars are magnetic and you can move them around to suit the size of the items that you're placing in the organizer. I think it's a very versatile item that can use by either men or women and it's a decent size and it can fit small pieces of jewelry your phone a few other items if you were organizing your nightstand before bed certainly can go into a desk drawer or a nightstand drawer to suit your lifestyle. I think it was a good value for the money because it is yet another item that can help us be more organized in this busy world.

Effective and functional air purifying
Style: Medium Room Air Purifier, Style: Medium Room Air Purifier
This Amazon Basics model AC2224A Air Purifier is a really capable machine with a somewhat unique filter. I ordered it when it was on special and decided to give some detail on the features to help folks who might be new to air purifiers. The filter weighs in at just over 1lb. That's actually pretty heavy for the size. The filter does the standard 3 things people expect, pre-screen, hepa, active carbon adsorption, but it's a little unique in how it is configured. The pre-screen is straight forward and permanently attached to the outside. It should catch big stuff like pet hair to help stretch out the more expensive layers. Most other filters run a single layer of hepa then separately on the inside run a layer of activated carbon - either as mesh or pellets. Here the filter stitches the hepa and the active carbon together. The active carbon is actually small chunks about the size of sugar crystals layered inside. (yes, I found the end and cut off a pieces to check it out). That actually is a very thoughful way to do it. Activated carbon is structurally changed in the factory to increase its surface area. It's a process you can't replicate at home. The activation allows it to adsorb molecules that cause odor and VOCs. I've given you an illuminated photo of the inside of the filter so that if you can zoom in you'll see the random strands which the hepa standards require. Random strands improve filtering and add strength for the filter. The risk with running a layered filter like this is that if it's constructed poorly it will block airflow. I can check those aspects and on high speed the machine pulls under 30watts and puts out just shy of a 9mph air flow. That's good work. Air flow does create air noise which I measured at 65db directly on top of the machine. It drops another 10db a foot away. On the sleep mode I get 42db on top and that actually drops below the 30db I can measure once you're a foot away from the machine. So, it's capable of power and of being quiet. The last thing is the automation. There is an air sensor on the back by where the cord plugs in that measures the PM2.5 levels. I know what mine are (I have multiple purifiers and sensors), so it doesn't surprise me in the least that on auto the machine drops down to the lowest level. You can also turn on a light that then adds a color to indicate the air purity. I use either essential oil or incense to test the sensor. This was very responsive and noted the essential oil mist I was diffusing right away. It turned the light red and sped to its highest level. Once it had cleaned up the issue it slowed back down and returned to its peaceful green color. It gives solid performance that is in no way basic. Plus, there's the added advantage that you're familiar with the company behind it.

Fresh Air, Quiet Performance, and Easy Setup
Style: Medium Room Air Purifier
Great air purifier! It was super easy to set up and started working right away. The noise level is low, even on higher settings, and the air in my room feels noticeably fresher. It’s compact, looks nice, and fits well in smaller spaces. Definitely a solid buy if you want something simple and effective.

Good air purifier - make sure you actually unwrap the filter lol
Style: Medium Room Air Purifier
I'm an idiot and didn't realize the filter that comes already inside it was in there wrapped in plastic for some reason that surpasses my understanding (the whole unit was already wrapped in plastic, why is the filter, which is inside the plastic-wrapped unit, also wrapped in its own separate plastic?? As if we need more plastic in the world...). Anyway, I didn't look inside cuz I thought the filter would just be installed in there and I plugged it in and cheerfully ran it for months til it told me it was time for replace the filter then bought a second filter and went tk take my old one out only to realize I hadn't been filtering anything all that time 😅 oops. Lol. So yeah, make sure you unwrap the filter. Otherwise it's a good little air purifier. Now that the filter is actually installed right, I notice it kicks up higher when we cook or do anything that would lower air quality, so it does seem to be detecting that properly! My allergies do seem better overall. It's pretty quiet when it's on low, but does get loud when it kicks up. I'm OK with that since it pretty much only happens when we cook or if I just put out a candle or something.
