Avoid excessively sunny places; we suggest to put the the in a partially shady spot. Succulent plants can also be cultivated in a cold green house, with temperatures which must be below 5°C for many species, but in this case it’s necessary to keep them totally dry.These plants are grown in apartment or in a temperated green house; they can be brought outdoors when the minimum temperatures are above 15° C.

Cultivation Stapelia flavirostris
The Stapelia flavirostris has a panel-like development, therefore it tends to widen very much. Stapelia flavirostris Is an evergreen; during spring, summer, autumn, winter iIt assumes a purple colouring; the adult specimens are small in size and reach 20 cm high. These plants are succulent .

Fertilize Stapelia flavirostris
In this period of the year, let’s remember to enrich the soil of our succulent plants, using, every 15-20 days, a specific fertilizer; fertilizers for succulent plants must be poor in nitrogen to avoid them from producing too much vegetation which would be easily attacked by fungal diseases.

Water Stapelia flavirostrisTenere asciutto
Let's water abundantly, moistening the soil deeply with 1-2 glasses of water , but let's act only when the substratum is dry, leaving it dry even for 4-5 weeks before watering it. Let’s remember that the succulent plants can withhold water inside their materials, therefore they need to be watered only when the weather is hot.

Pests Stapelia flavirostris
As the day-time temperatures rise at the beginning of the spring, it is agreeable to practice a preventive treatment, with a wide-range insecticide, which should be applied when there aren’t flowerings in the garden. Before the buds become too large, it is advisable to also treat them with a wide-range fungicide, to prevent the development of fungal diseases which spread easily when there is an elevated environmental moisture.
