Huernia zebrina

• Rare and unusual succulent with bizarre flowers.
• Blooms are creamy-yellow with burgundy stripes and a burgundy "lifesaver" in the centre.
• Short, cactus-like stems with very soft spines.

Care:

• Light: Bright with as much direct sun as possible (west or south window).
• Water: Water deeply once the soil has completely dried out in spring and summer. Water lightly only if the stems begin to shrivel in winter.
• Fertilizer: Use an all-purpose fertilizer such as Schultz Indoor Plant Food (10-15-10) up to twice monthly in spring and summer.
• Other tips: Grows best in an undersized pot. Use sharply-drained potting mix; we recommend Pro-Mix Cactus & Succulent Mix with extra perlite and small Orchiata added. This plant rots very easily when overwatered.
