I have a Stapelia variegata whose leaves are turning yellow and
shriveling away to nothing at the tips. Only the last half-inch or so
of each leaf is affected, the remainder of the leaves are still green
and turgid. Does anyone know what the problem is?


I don't know those plants well, but my first guess would be the water. What
is the source? Municipal water? Well water? Softened? Is it winter where you
live? How often are you watering?
