Description
Bushman’s Pipe, Horny Wonder, Condom Plant
This distinctive plant, perfect as a conversation starter, yields an abundance of peculiar green and white blooms in late summer. Its pollination process is quite unique: the 2½-inch tubular flowers feature inward-pointing hairs that briefly trap insects, releasing them the following day dusted with pollen. With its thick, leafless, twining stems, it thrives when showcased in a hanging basket. For best results, plant in a well-draining cactus mix, position in partial shade, and let the soil dry out between waterings. It requires protection from frost. Originating from South Africa, further details about this fascinating plant are available at PlantZAfrica.com.
