This plant will want water around every two to five weeks. Let the soil totally dry out, but don't let it go bone dry and then sit around for a month or so; once they are totally dried out, they want water! Remember that the top of the soil may feel dry, while residual water remains deeper in the pot. Since water is heavy, a light potted plant often indicates it's time to water, especially with smaller pots. It's also a good idea to keep an eye on the plant: If leaves are drooping or dropping or succulents are shriveling, you've probably gone too long without watering. | |

Notas de cultivo
Most succulent stapeliads are from the deserts of the world and as such like to go totally bone dry between waterings, making them very low-maintenance. If you see your edithcolea begin to shrivel or lose firmness, your plant is likely totally dry and should be watered. To get good healthy growth your plant doesn't want to sit around totally dried out during it's growing season. Once it is dry water it.
This edithcolea comes from an area with summer rainfall and is actively growing during that time, when it is forgiving of overwatering errors. During winter dormancy it should be kept extra dry and will be very intolerant of overwatering.
Interés especial
Seriously, the flowers are to die for!
