That's an amazing collection. I got to see a few in the wild in Africa ten years ago, and I have only grown Stapelia gigantea. I find that I can water it as often as once a week, but I can neglect it for months as well. Either way it keeps growing for me. When I was treating them like a cactus they would shrivel up and sulk. How often do you water your collection?

Thank you! During warm weather I water very frequently, often daily. I do use a very quick draining mix. Once they come in for the winter, I water about once a month or if I notice any shriveling.
