Orbea semota var. lutea – 6” Hanging Basket
Unusual and captivating, Orbea semota var. lutea is a rare succulent prized for its intricate star-shaped blooms and trailing, segmented stems. This 6” hanging basket is mature and well-established, allowing its sculptural stems to cascade naturally for a dramatic display.
The fleshy, four-angled green stems branch freely and gently spill over the sides of the basket, forming a dense, textured mound. During its blooming season, this variety produces striking pale yellow to soft butter-colored flowers often marked with intricate speckling and a raised central ring. The starfish-like blooms create a bold contrast against the structured stems, making this plant a true conversation piece.
As a member of the stapeliad group, Orbea semota var. lutea thrives in bright light and well-draining soil. Like many in its family, blooms may have a noticeable scent that attracts pollinators.
