Stapelia gigantea – The Giant Starfish Flower

Stapelia gigantea is a fascinating succulent known for its massive, star-shaped flowers and chunky, cactus-like stems. Native to arid regions of Africa, this plant produces soft, fuzzy blooms that can reach up to 10–16 inches across. The flowers are typically pale yellow with reddish markings and have a distinct scent that attracts pollinators—earning it the nickname "Carrion Flower." Its thick, green stems grow in upright clumps and make a striking structural addition to any succulent collection.

🌿 Key Features:
✔ Huge Star-Shaped Flowers – Up to 16 inches wide with hairy, textured petals.
✔ Cactus-Like Growth – Thick, four-angled green stems grow in upright clusters.
✔ Unusual Pollination Strategy – Flowers emit a scent to attract flies.
✔ Drought-Tolerant & Hardy – Perfect for warm, dry climates or containers.

📏 Size:

Stems grow up to 8–12 inches tall, with sprawling clusters over time.

With its otherworldly blooms and bold structure, Stapelia gigantea is a conversation piece and a must-have for collectors of the weird and wonderful. 🌿🌟🪰

Succulent Care Guide from Ramsey Succulents

1. Light:

Succulents thrive in bright, indirect light. Aim for 6 hours of sunlight daily. If growing indoors, a south-facing window works best. Rotate regularly to ensure even growth.

2. Water:

Water sparingly—typically every 2-4 weeks. Allow soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering is the most common cause of issues, so when in doubt, water less!

3. Soil:

Plant succulents in well-draining soil. If repotting, use cactus or succulent mix to prevent root rot.

4. Temperature:

Succulents prefer 60-80°F (15-27°C). Avoid extreme cold, as most are sensitive to frost. Do not grow outdoors if weather gets below 35 degrees.

5. Pot:

Make sure the pot has drainage holes. Good drainage is essential to avoid water accumulation.
