Huernia keniensis KHU540 SEEDS

The Kenya Huernia is characterized by its compact and low-growing habit. It typically forms small clumps of erect or sprawling stems that are gray-green or green in color. Each stem segment is oval or cylindrical and covered with tiny, raised tubercles. These stems can grow to be around 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5 centimeters) long.

One of the most striking features of Huernia keniensis is its captivating flowers. The star-shaped blossoms are typically small and can vary in color from brownish to maroon, with intricate markings that resemble the appearance of rotting or decaying matter. This unique characteristic is designed to attract flies and other pollinators that are drawn to the scent of decaying flesh.

Caring for Huernia keniensis is relatively straightforward, as it is a hardy succulent that thrives in well-draining soil and bright, indirect sunlight. Like most succulents, it prefers to dry out between waterings and is well-suited for arid or desert-like conditions. Its unusual appearance and low-maintenance requirements make it a sought-after choice among succulent enthusiasts and collectors who appreciate the exotic and visually intriguing qualities of this remarkable plant.
