Onderhoudsinstructies
Stapelia hirsuta thrives in bright, direct sunlight and prefers moderate temperatures. It should be watered sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out almost completely between waterings. This plant does well in low humidity environments and can be grown both indoors and outdoors.Bodem
Stapelia hirsuta prefers sandy soil with excellent drainage. A cactus or succulent mix is ideal, as it prevents water from accumulating around the roots, which can lead to rot. Ensure the soil is well-draining to mimic its natural desert habitat.Kunstmest
Use a balanced fertilizer with a nutrient composition of 2-7-7 during the growing season. Fertilize sparingly, as too much can harm the plant. Once a month during the active growing period is sufficient.Verpotten
Repot Stapelia hirsuta every 2-3 years or when it outgrows its current pot. Choose a slightly larger pot with good drainage. Gently remove the plant from its old pot, shake off excess soil, and place it in the new pot with fresh succulent mix.Voortplanting
Stapelia hirsuta can be propagated through stem cuttings. Take cuttings during the growing season, allow them to callous over for a few days, and then plant them in well-draining soil. Keep the soil slightly moist until roots develop.Snoeien
Pruning is generally not required for Stapelia hirsuta. However, you can remove any dead or damaged stems to maintain the plant's appearance and health.Toxiciteit
