  Not really noticed in previous years but this Edithcolea is giving off a powerful smell 😆
  so much so I’m wondering to keep or not to keep ... 
  anyine else with a plant they’re not so sure about?

  Don't know how long the flowers last but as the plant only smells when they are in bloom I would definitely keep it!
  Maybe just put it somewhere the smell does not offend too much!!

  I normally put my succulents & cacti outside for summer but for various reasons I haven’t managed to get them out this year 😢
   
  That is probably why I haven’t been struck by the smell before. It has flowered really well this year. And yes they don’t last long. Just love looking at them so will be keeping but just make sure I get it outside!!
  
  Thanks for your comments.
