Huernia zebrina

Description

Huernia zebrina is a unique small perennial succulent that grows in a creeping pattern. You might think that a plant that stunning is difficult to grow but it’s not, it is actually low maintenance, as long as it’s in a pot with the right potting soil and excellent drainage, and watered sparingly. The soil must be dry for at least 2 – 3cm deep, before you water again. The flowers, which Huernia zebrina produces generously from late spring through summer, may emit a strong odour, unpleasant to the human nose but designed by nature to attract pollinators.
