Description

The listing, Starfish Cactus has ended.

This is for a 3" cutting off of my producing Starfish Cactus. It does better if kept in pot. It is cold sensitive. It does need water and lots of sun. This is a very attractive plant but let me warn you it stinks and will attract flies.

Many plants get their common names from a defining physical characteristic, and the starfish cactus (Orbea variegata), also referred to as a carrion flower, is no exception. Although the starfish moniker refers to the plant’s pleasant, star-shaped flowers, its other nickname -- carrion flower -- refers to the rotten smell it gives off. If growing novelty but stinky cactuslike succulents appeals to you, the starfish cactus won't let you down. The starfish cactus, which grows in U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zone 9 through 11, performs best in full sunlight in a mix of well-draining, inorganic and organic sandy mediums.The starfish cactus is a low-maintenance plant that doesn’t need fertilization.
