These
pictures of hoodia are from a South African hoodia
farm. Remember even thought it looks like a cactus
it is actually a succulent.
The hoodia plant takes over 6 years to fully
mature and hoodia's popularity has reached epic
proportions. This has caused a shortage of hoodia
and caused the price to rise. South African farmers
are trying to keep the supply on pace with hoodia's
enormous growth by planting massive amounts of
the succulent plant in huge greenhouses. |
