Highlights
Orbea variegata (Starfish Flower) (Haworth): A fun, exotic succulent with otherworldly flowers. This oddity can develop into a dense cluster of thorny-looking stems. It truly astound with a sci-fi flower. The yellow flower is up to 3.0" wide, star-shaped, and mottled with burgundy speckles. It can have a pungent, rotten meat smell in order to attract flies for pollination.
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 ample sunlight, good 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.
