Stapelia is a magical beauty.

Stapelia is a perennial potted succulents. Stapelia has long been a popular indoor flower because of the unusually beautiful flowers have the shape of a star.

Stapelia has one not pleasant strangeness - her flowers smell very bad when they bloom, their smell resembles the smell of rotting meat. During flowering its slipway I try not to touch and not to turn the pot. Stapelia has no leaves, its branching stems are of quadrangular form and that it is very similar to cacti.

Care slipway is not complicated and is very similar to caring for cacti in the summer it should be watered every week, and in winter 1-2 times a month. Stapelia refers to those plants that are better not to fill than to pour. The best place to pile the sill East or West window. Summer the slipway you can make out.

Stapelia propagated very easily by cuttings, which should be dried a little, and then put in a pot, which will continue to grow.
