Stapelia scitula, also commonly known as ‘Small starfish flower’, is a succulent plant with curvy, 4-angled, light green stems that reach a height up to 6 inches. Because this winter-dormant plant is native to the Western Cape and belongs to the Asclepiadaceae family, blooming star-shaped flowers usually necessitates warm, humid conditions or a specialized greenhouse environment.

Growth Rate

The Stapelia scitula plant has a fast growth rate.

Flowering

This plant produces stunning five-petaled flowers during the blooming season in late fall or early winter. The unpleasant fragrance attracts flies and other insects, which pollinate the flowers. Flowers are maroon/burgundy in color and maybe mottled with a couple of other colors.

Watering and Feeding

During the growing season, Stapelia scitula requires watering with fertilizer. Complete water withdrawal is recommended during the winter months.

Soil

As cactus roots are shallow of this succulent, use a cactus mix or add extra perlite, pumice to regular potting soil. A gritty, well-draining compost is appropriate, and clay pots allow the plants to dry out between waterings.

Hardiness

Small starfish flower has a frost tolerance of 10° C (50° F) and belongs to the hardiness zone of 10a to 11b.

Light

This variety of Stapelia prefers partial sun or light shade sun exposure and lives under shrubs in its habitat.

Propagation

From early to mid-summer, you can propagate Stapelia scitula by taking cuttings. Cut off healthy stems with a sharp knife.

The Small starfish flower is the most beautiful plant to own at your house. This plant is best as home decor or to plant in your garden. You can buy this plant before thinking twice.

Feels good on the skin not greasy
Size: 1.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Very nice product very concentrated has a very light fragrance that dissipates very quickly not greasy. No I do not have any redness or sensitivity I wanted to try this product anyway because I'm always looking for moderately priced good quality that travels well. And this fit the bill especially with it being on sale.

Good product , but
Size: 1.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Size: 1.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
It seems to be a good product and it’s not too heavy , but still caused few breakouts here and there . Also, Avenue always has protective foil on their cream , this one didn’t have (I replaced it but new one also didn’t have it). Also, it goes away really fast because it’s only 1.3 ounces.

This cream is truly gentle and healing for a compromised skin barrier. I prefer this cream in the winter, when the weather is dry, and after procedures like microneedling or laser. It has never irritated my skin, and does soothe and heal. The La Roche Posay cicalfate cream is also excellent, I think it is slightly less rich, so I prefer that in humidity or the summer.
