This huernia is from arid areas of South Africa and as such likes to go totally bone dry between waterings, making it very low-maintenance. To get good healthy growth your plant doesn't want to sit around totally dried out during its growing season. Once it is dry, water it. This plant comes from an area with summer rainfall and is actively growing during that time, when it is forgiving of overwatering errors. During winter dormancy it should be kept extra dry and won't tolerate overwatering. Remember that if kept in a small pot your plant will want more frequent watering. | |

Notas de cultivo
While huernias are typically thought of as frost tender, this particular one has proven to survive frosts in protected areas of the Ruth Bancroft garden, showing that it is more hardy than typical stapeliads.
Growing this plant in extra gritty soil (mixing cactus mix with equal parts pumice) will make this plant more resilient to winter rainstorms...
Blooms from late summer through fall.
