Huernia Guttata Subsp comes from Eastern Cape, Northern Cape, and Western Cape. The typical plants occur mainly in the Eastern Cape from Somerset East southwards towards Kirkwood and at Uniondale. About 80 species in the family. It is clumping form and has short stems that like look they have spines but not. Star-shaped flowers they have. Filtered sunlight is best for these plants and also rest them in winter with less watering. Regularly watering in their growing season is required. Pot in cactus mixed with extra perlite or pumice. A gritty, very free-draining compost is suitable, and clay pots help the plants to dry out between watering. Re-pot every 2 years.
Planting Plant
Watch your plants for the first couple of months to check if they are happy where they are.
If they look like growing out of shape, they require more sunlight. Burning is a common fact when having new plants. Best to gradually give them more sunlight as the weeks go by. Instead of placing it in straight sunlight.
Depending on the season allow them to sit for a week before giving them a good drink. Make sure they dry out completely before watering again. Don’t forget to give them a spray with soapy water to keep the bugs off them. And provide very good ventilation.
