How often should I water my Stapelia Divaricata?: Water this succulent sparingly, allowing the soil to completely dry out between waterings. Typically, watering once every two weeks should suffice, but adjust based on humidity and temperature conditions.
Is the Stapelia Divaricata suitable for beginners?: Yes, it’s an excellent choice for beginners due to its easy care requirements. This plant is hardy and requires minimal watering and indirect light, making it forgiving for novice plant owners.
Can this plant be placed in direct sunlight?: It’s best to provide your Stapelia Divaricata with indirect or partial sunlight. Direct sunlight can scorch the stems, so a spot with filtered light, such as behind a sheer curtain, is ideal.

☀️ Light

☀️☀️▫️ (Medium)

The Stapelia Divaricata thrives in medium light conditions. It enjoys bright, indirect sunlight. Direct sunlight might scorch its stems, so a spot near a window with a sheer curtain would be ideal.

? Water

?▫️▫️ (Low)

This succulent needs minimal watering. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so less is more with the Starfish Flower.

?️ Temperature

?️?️▫️ (Average)

Stapelia Divaricata prefers average room temperatures between 15°C and 25°C. Keep it away from draughty areas and sudden temperature changes.

? Humidity

?▫️▫️ (Low)

This plant is not demanding in terms of humidity; typical home humidity levels are sufficient. There’s no need for additional humidity adjustments.

? Repotting

Repot your Stapelia Divaricata every 2-3 years or when it outgrows its pot. Use a well-draining cactus or succulent mix to ensure proper drainage and prevent moisture buildup.

? Pet Friendliness

This plant is non-toxic and safe for pets. However, its fascinating flowers might attract curious paws or noses, so it’s wise to place it out of reach if your pet tends to nibble.

? Recommended Locations at Home

Place your Starfish Flower in living rooms, kitchens, or offices where it can receive adequate light. It’s a great conversation starter on desks or shelves!

? Air Purifying

While not specifically known for air-purifying abilities, like most plants, it does contribute to a slight improvement in indoor air quality.

✨ Other Plant Features

With its unique starfish-shaped blooms and dark green, pink-tipped stems, the Stapelia Divaricata adds an exotic touch to any plant collection. It’s perfect for succulent enthusiasts and collectors of rare and unusual plants.
