Huernia Plants

Huernia plants are unusual collector succulents known for their angular stems and striking star-shaped flowers with intricate colours, patterns, and textures. Often mistaken for cacti, these compact succulents belong to the stapeliad group and are especially valued for their distinctive blooms and sculptural appearance. Our collection may include Huernia zebrina, commonly called the lifesaver plant, along with Huernia schneideriana, Huernia macrocarpa, Huernia keniensis, and other rare Huernia species and varieties. Their compact growth makes them well suited to indoor displays, sunny windows, greenhouses, terrariums, and curated succulent collections. In Canada, Huernia plants are primarily grown indoors or in protected environments, where their unusual stems and dramatic flowers can be appreciated throughout the growing season. They pair beautifully with Stapelia, Orbea, cacti, and other uncommon desert plants, making them an excellent choice for collectors seeking something truly distinctive.
