I keep it outside (partial sun) and give it a bit of miracle grow every week or so. That's it!

As you can see, it's in a small container. I don't really know what the secret is. I've only had this plant since Spring (given to me by George).

Wow, this is different! Tropical? Since it has the name carrion is it like a venus fly trap and eat insects?

Is this the same as stapelia variegata? I keep mine outside during warmer months. It's in the greenhouse now til next spring.
