Angolluma


Angolluma is a genus of succulent plants in the family Apocynaceae, native primarily to northern-hemisphere Africa, with some species in southern Africa. Unlike the closely related genus Orbea, the flowers arise from the tips of the stems.

Description

Angollumas have fleshy, water-holding stems adorned with soft and fleshy spines and equally fleshy, luridly colourful five-petalled flowers.

Cultivation

Caring for angollumas can be difficult due to how easily their roots rot and die if overwatered at any one time.
