Water CarefullyRare and Unusual🌿 How to Keep Me Happy
Huernia desmetiana is a small, perennial succulent in the Stapelia subtribe native to Eastern and Southern Africa. It is known for its fleshy, angular stems and distinctive five-lobed flowers, which often emit a carrion-like scent to attract pollinators. The flowers typically display a combination of cream and red hues, with a glossy, rubbery texture.
Native to: Eastern and Southern Africa.
Water: During the active growing season (spring and summer), water moderately, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings. In winter, reduce watering significantly, providing just enough to prevent the plant from shriveling. Overwatering can lead to root rot.
Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight can cause the stems to develop a reddish pigmentation and may lead to sunburn. Insufficient light can result in weak, elongated growth and reduced flowering.
Humidity: Thrives in typical indoor humidity levels. No special humidity requirements are necessary.
Temperature: Grows best in temperatures between 10°C and 27°C. Protect from temperatures below 4.5°C, as the plant is not frost-tolerant. It can tolerate higher temperatures if not exposed to full sun.
The size listed is the diameter of the nursery pot. To ensure your decorative pot fits the plant, ensure the diameter is at least 2cm larger than the nursery pot size.
