Huernia Zebrina Variegata 130mm

Huernia zebrina variegata, often nicknamed the Variegated Lifesaver Plant, is a fascinating and rare succulent admired for both its striking foliage and eye-catching flowers. Its thick, fleshy stems are splashed with creamy white and yellow variegation, while its star-shaped blooms feature bold zebra striping and a glossy, dark red ring resembling a candy "lifesaver" at the centre.

Features:

• Dramatic Flowers: Produces uniquely patterned star-shaped flowers with a thick, glossy central ring.

• Variegated Stems: The sprawling stems feature striking yellow and green marbling, adding year-round interest.

• Compact Growth: Grows low to the ground and spreads slowly—ideal for pots, hanging baskets, or shallow containers.

• Rare and Collectible: A sought-after variety among collectors due to its unusual colouration and dramatic blooms.

Care Tips:

• Light: Enjoys bright, indirect light or partial sun. Protect from intense midday sun to avoid scorching.

• Watering: Water sparingly. Let soil dry out completely between waterings. Reduce watering in winter.

• Soil: Requires very well-draining cactus or succulent mix. Avoid overwatering or moisture-retentive soils.

• Temperature: Prefers warm conditions and should be protected from frost. Best kept above 10°C (50°F).

• Propagation: Easily propagated from stem cuttings. Allow cuttings to callous before planting.
