Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Step1
Grow the Starfish Flower in a clay pot that has good drainage. The houseplant resembles a cactus, but is really a succulent that enjoys its water at times.
Step2
Plant in sandy soil that drains quickly to prevent the roots from rotting. The Starfish can be kept in hanging baskets. Train it to cascade down with flowing flowers from the basket.
Step3
Keep your Starfish flower in full sun to partial shade. The blooms, which can grow as big as 18 inches across, mature well in warm sunny conditions.
Step4
Mist your succulent houseplant during the summer months when temperatures are warmer. Maintain a humid environment during the summer, and stop misting during the dryer winter months.
Step5
Protect your Starfish flowers from bugs. They like to lay eggs in the stinky flower, so watch for flies and bugs. Buy insecticides safe for indoor plants.
