Highlights
Stapelia gigantea (Brown): A tall, lime green plant with bumpy ridges lining its stem. These plants produce a giant, sea star-like flower that's yellow, furry, and out-of-this-world cool. Like many stapeliads, S. gigantea is pollinated by flies so its flowers smell like rotten meat to attract pollinators.
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.
