Orbea variegata

[smartie2000]

My Orbea variegata or 'carrion flower' arrived. I potted it up in a mixture of perlite, hydroton, sand and some sort of cheap potting soil. I hope it does well because I don't grow many succulents.

I have a newbie question. How many stems does it need to bloom? It broke in half when I unpotted it again when I decided it needed more perlite.

I'll post here when it blooms This was a redder bloomed clone.

My mom's cactus (or look-alike euphorb?) committed suicide when it fell off the TV on its own, lol

Carrion flower, eh? I guess that doesn't bode well for it's fragrance then?

I think it should bloom now (or this summer).

I think it should bloom now (or this summer).

Agreed. More a matter of getting enough light.
