  • Fertiliser: Feed your Monadenium stapelioides with a balanced cactus fertiliser once a month during the growing season.
  • Potting: Use a well-draining cactus and succulent potting mix. Repot every 2-3 years in spring, choosing a slightly larger container each time.
  • Propagation: Propagate through stem cuttings. Allow the cuttings to dry and callus before planting in well-draining soil.
