Huernia Sebrina Variegated

Care Information: Huernias prefer bright light or partial shade. In nature, they grow underneath shrubs or other plants. Too much sun causes stems to develop protective reddish or purple pigmentation and can scald the stems. Too little light leads to weak, thin growth with decreased flower production. These succulents grow best between 50 and 80 °F (10 and 27 °C). Protect them from freezing weather. They can tolerate down to 40 °F (4.5 °C) when dormant if they are kept dry and temperatures over 100 °F (38 °C) if not in full sun. Plants should be kept dry during the dormant winter season. When Huernias are actively growing, they need to be watered. Allow the soil to dry one inch (2.5 cm) down the container between waterings. In regions with highly mineralized water, use rainwater or water from reverse osmosis units to prevent minerals' buildup in the soil. During the growing season, high-phosphorous, low-nitrogen fertilizers can be applied at half-strength once a month. Alternatively, small amounts of blood and bone meals can be mixed into potting soil at the beginning of the growing season. No fertilizers should be given during the dormant season.
