1. Stapelia grandiflora. Definitely could use some h2o:). When it blooms you will get the true id.

2. Kalenchoe diagremontiana maybe

Thanks Kara!! I think youre spot on!I watered both of them after I re-potted.. Should I water both every day? Once a week? I live in the Florida Keys and its hot and humid all the time..

I don't live in Florida so it's hard to judge when to water. If you're keeping the plants protected from rainfall water once every 7-10 days. Just keep an eye on your plants. Adjust if need be. They will take forever to die from dehydration, but die in days if too much hydration. I would drill holes at the bottom of these containers asap. Next time you're at Home Depot or Lowes get some perlite. Do a mix of 60% perlite and 40% C&S soil. This will help with drainage. Happy planting:).

ps- the flowers that come from the Stapelia smell like rotten chicken. They're carrion flowers. They don't attract bees or butterflies they bring on the flies. Somebody had a cool pic on here I think it was Stush. He had fly eggs on a flower.

I make out with fish.. its what I do.. LOL

Gross on that Stapelia! I'm giving it back to my neighbor. I already have the cacti in a perlite and cactus soil mix.. I just topped it off with some fluorite to make it look nice. There are holes in the bottom of my "pot" as well.

The bamboo pot is very cool.

I found it floating in the ocean one day.. I made like 5 pots out of it..

Kalenchoe diagremontiana, say that five times fast.

Weed weed weed weed weed.

I'm jealous of the bamboo.

Its a weed??????

I got a motorcycle full of em... (dropped off at my house) and the pot weighs like 300 lbs...

Should I pitch em?

PS I find the bamboo all the time.. If I find one Ill save you a few "pots"

It's a forever plant...babies grow on the leaves and drop everywhere. In your location, you could have them all over the garden. Not a problem in colder areas, as they will freeze.

Don't you have any baby plantlets yet?

Your fluorite looks like turface - maybe that's what it is but packaged in small bags and sold as 'specialty substrate'. I buy turface in 50lb bags for just under $20 (probably less $ in USA).

I see babies on the inside bottom of the pot, I think. I pulled some out to replant but they started dropping like flies, leaves were falling off and they are just droopy now in a pot..

I cant find turface where I live.. SeaChem Fluorite, is the stuff is sold at the pet store but its $40 ($18 on amazon) for a small bag but very consistent in size. I also use the Napa Oil Dry which is $10 for 30lbs but I only get 50% of the good sized stuff. The rest is tiny, I save it but I never use it.

The fluorite looks way better than both of them though. Here are some pics..

In Australia that plant is illegal because it can be so invasive.

In my opinion, stapelia flowers aren't that bad smelling. I know that in contained areas, the smell can accumulate and get pretty strong, but if grown outdoors, the smell gets diluted. I literally need my nose to touch the flower to get the slightest scent.

I agree with Garrett. I have S. Gigantea and used to have an Orbea hybrid, both bloomed and you really have to get up close to smell it. It's worse at different times of the day, but mine have never been strong enough to fill a room.

Garrett and Alyssa aren't growing the stankful ones - downwind, even outside, of some of them, it'll be reeking to high heaven.

cactusmcharris, which are the worst smelling?

I have S. gigantea, S. grandiflora, O. variegata, and about 6 other huernias that i cannot name off the top of my head, none of them with strong odors.

The worst - I don't know, Garrett, but Caralummas and Hoodias are very, very foul.
