Edithcolea grandis - Persian Carpet Flower [large]

Highlights

Edithcolea grandis (Brown): A rewarding stapeliad with stems varying from lime green to rust red. They produce large flowers that are a complex pattern of red, white, and yellow tones. It's worth noting that these flowers are pollinated by flies so they smell like rotten meat. They need plenty of sunlight and high winter temperatures of over 60°F to thrive. This plant is fully rooted in a 3.5" plastic pot.

Soft succulents will not survive a hard frost, but if there is a risk of freezing temperatures they can be brought indoors to grow on a sunny window sill or under a grow light. They need bright sunlight, great drainage, and infrequent water to prevent rot. Pick containers with drainage holes and use well-draining cactus and succulent soil with 50% to 70% mineral grit such as coarse sand, pumice, or perlite. Water deeply enough for water to run out the drainage hole, then wait for the soil to fully dry before watering again.
