Stapelia bud blast

[Gail]

I have a unknown stapelia thats had bud blast for 2 or 3 years in a row. This years was looking promising but now its starting to yellow and die.
Last year I thought it was lack of water so I kept it damper but not soggy. I was in a north window but I moved it to a east window once I saw the bloom.
What do these things need? I'm about ready to toss it in the trash.

Here's a quickie copy and paste to see if you need to modify your plant care:

They are desert succulents and crave as much sunshine as you can give them, and want water only when bone dry, especially in winter.

Their only cultural enemies are chilly, wet soil, insufficient light, and being grown in pots that are too large (causing the first issue, wet soil).

In summer they’ll want water perhaps every two weeks. In spring/autumn perhaps once a month. When it comes to winter, you can skip watering altogether.

When in doubt, don’t water. If you want plants you needn’t fuss over, then Stapelias are your answer.

Best of luck.

Water and pot size is good. It may very well be temps, its cold and damp right now. In facts, its always chilly and rainy when this thing is trying to bloom.
I'll have to figure out how to keep it warmer or else rehome it to a better environment.
