      I’m not sure. It was maybe 4 inches tall when I got it this Spring. Yes, it does! I had no idea until after I bought it. 🙈

      They call them "carrion flower" for that reason too. I just got one that I rooted from cuttings. They are such interesting plants

      I saw that they are called that too! I agree, very interesting. Was it hard to root? I’m fairly new at being a plant parent.

      No it was very straightforward; I just stuck them in some cactus soil with perlite and sprayed the surface every couple days and it took a couple weeks or so. New? Really because your plants look sooo nice! They look healthy and presented very well.

      Cool, I’ll do that then. Thank you! I’ve killed a fair share of plants. I’m just starting to get a hang of it. I repotted everything this spring, realized I wasn’t using the right soil. Did a lot of research.
