Stapelia

Some flowers release odours that attract pollinators, a consideration when positioning the pot. A bright, airy place helps avoid persistent moisture at the stem bases. Explore Orbea.

General care

• Light: Bright light with protection from intense sun and gradual acclimatisation.
• Watering: Water during growth and let dry between waterings; reduce in cold weather or dormancy.
• Compost: Airy, free-draining mix; avoid compact compost that stays damp.
• Temperature: Protect from cold and persistent rain while maintaining airflow.
• Maintenance: Check stem bases, remove dry parts and avoid standing water.
