Re: Stapeliad thread 2020
The only Stap. that I have ( of any size) is grandifolia.. I have a few six inch pots that are over flowing with upper growth. What do people do in this position. Do they remove some growth, and re root ? or just pot up into larger pots ? I must say my plants are growing well, but must be pot bound by now. The flowers are great though. Cheers

I would think it's grandiflora Eric.
Entirely up to you and how much space you have! It can go out in summer by the way and will be very happy.

Remember: if you prune it, remove the older growth, and keep the newer growth.

Where do you all get your stapelias from? I rarely see any for sale here in the UK.

Re: Stapeliad thread 2020
A few in flower this week:
Huernia boleana
Orbea wissmannii
And what was labelled Stapelia incomparabilis turned out to be Orbea variegata! (Don't you just hate it when that happens!)
