Add a rare and captivating succulent to your collection with Huernia 'Red Dragon', a unique stapeliad admired for its sculptural, four-sided stems and extraordinary deep red, bell-shaped flowers. This distinctive variety produces richly textured blooms that create a dramatic display throughout the growing season, making it a favorite among succulent collectors. These do not need direct light so they can occupy many places you would struggle to other plants to grow.
Although it resembles a cactus, Huernia 'Red Dragon' has no sharp thorns or spines. Its fleshy stems feature soft ridges, making it a great choice for collectors who want an unusual succulent that's easy to handle.
Each plant is nursery-grown and well-rooted using zero sprays or fertilizer of any kind, established for several months before shipping. These healthy young plants have an active root system and are ready to continue growing in their new home.
Light:
Provide bright, indirect light or 4–6 hours of morning or filtered afternoon sun. Gradually acclimate to stronger sunlight to encourage compact growth and vibrant flowering.
Water:
Allow the potting mix to dry completely between waterings. Water thoroughly until excess moisture drains from the container, then wait until the soil is dry before watering again. During winter dormancy, reduce watering significantly.
Soil:
Plant in a fast-draining cactus or succulent mix amended with pumice, perlite, or coarse grit. Excellent drainage is essential for healthy roots.
Temperature:
Thrives between 60–85°F (16–29°C). Protect from frost and prolonged temperatures below 40°F (4°C).
Fertilizer:
Feed monthly during the spring and summer with your fertilizer of choice. We typically use a small amount of aged compost or apply compost tea or weed tea to provide gentle, natural nutrients.
