Description:

It is a succulent extremely appreciated for its asymmetric shape but above all for the peculiar flower, impossible not to notice! It has slender stems, deeply ribbed and adorned with soft teeth, which do not reach remarkable heights but rather tend with the growth to prostrate on the ground and root, thus giving rise to a wonderful tangle of multiple stems. The epidermis of Huernia is tinged with a dark green that, under exposure to abundant brightness, tends to an intense purple. Among the stems bloom wonderful flowers in the shape of a 5-pointed star, generally characterized by soft colors of the petals, in the center of which there is a showy ring swollen and shiny bright orange color, for an absolutely impressive final effect!

Plant care:

It requires an exposure to full sun. However, it can be placed in a partially shaded area only if it still receives a lot of light throughout the year.

It is preferable to keep it at mild temperatures and never below 5 °C, for this reason it is recommended to shelter it during the winter period.

Water moderately in spring and autumn but only when the soil is completely dry, reduce watering to once every two months in summer and suspend it completely in winter.

The best soil is a well-draining one, even better if further enriched with inert materials such as pumice, sand or lapilli.

They do not need frequent fertilization, it is sufficient to dilute the fertilizer with watering once a year.
