Winelight is very pretty. Are these fragrant?

Very nice I've always had problems with spotting on these due to the soft leafs. You've got some fantastic flowers there.

They need a lot of water, shade, good air movement. They dislike hot temperature, so I give them more shade when the weather is hot (28 and over). The color of the foliage tell us what to do since the color change in a few hours when the plant is stressed. It become more greyish when they need water or are grown too warm or on too strong light. They like to grow in a half pot since the root system is shallow. I have 1 in sphagnum moss, a few in bark mix and another in rockwool.

:rollhappy: No!!! They only look alike Stapelias!!! I grow one Stapelia at the office BTW.... No problem with the scent indeed since there is a pet shop nearby (we share the same building and the same "air system" )
