Huernia rosea RH230 10 km E Al-Maghraba, Haraz mountains, Yemen

A clumping succulent species

Fleshy, light green stems mottled with red, with short, thin tubercles. Bell-shaped, light orange flowers that darken slightly as they age and smell of mushroom. The flowers bloom in clusters at the base of young stems.

This species originates from Yemen, where it grows among rocks under shrubs.

It requires well-drained soil and a location in partial shade or filtered light. Water every 7-20 days during the growing season (approximately March to October), allowing the soil to dry out between waterings. Keep well-drained in the rest of the year.

Not hardy: tolerates temperatures down to 5°C without problems.

Bare-rooted plant with a single or slightly branched stem.
