Know before you buy
Yes, this plant is non-toxic to common household pets, making it a safe choice for homes with curious animals.
The Stomatium mustellinum is a night-blooming succulent, meaning its fragrant white flowers unfurl in the evening. While the blooms are consistent, they are specifically adapted to open during nighttime hours.
It thrives best in bright, indirect light. Avoid placing it in harsh, direct afternoon sun, which can scorch the fleshy leaves.
This plant requires low watering frequency. Always ensure you are using a well-draining succulent or cactus soil mix and allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings to prevent root rot.
You can keep it outdoors during warmer months, provided the temperatures stay between 21°C and 29°C (70°F to 85°F). However, it is not frost-tolerant, so it must be brought inside if temperatures drop.
