Nice! My SO is starting to get into these. Is there anything you can do to encourage these into flowering? Our collection is still small and so far mostly inside. When we moved I gave my small collection of Stapelias and Huernias away (clearly knowing what I know now, I should have held on to them), because I did not have a good place to keep them initially with my plants sitting packed in the back yard for the first few months. So now I will be trying to acquire some.

Basically age and sunshine for me but yours may be too strong and need shading.
I give a weak feed with each watering.

Thanks!

I know they grow here as ground cover in pretty much full shade, so outside is definitely doable but not straightforward.

I’m afraid I have no experience of growing them outside. Can’t help you there!
