Caring for your Huernia

• Pot: Huernia are best suited to growing in pots. They work well in mixed planted containers too. They can also be planted in the rockery in drier summer-rainfall areas.

• Soil: The plants are very willing and can adapt to most soil types as long as they are well drained.

• Light: The brighter the light, the more colourful and compact your plants will be.

• Water: Most Huernias enjoy watering every two weeks or so, depending on the species and the growing conditions. When well established, the plants are very drought hardy.
