is a visually appealing succulent that grows glaucous green stem clumps. The stems are erect, prostrate, or pendulous and can grow up to 18 inches long and 0.6 inches wide. Its fleshy stems and leaves store water, allowing it to withstand long periods of drought.
The flowers of Huernia schneideriana are bell-shaped; they are truly a sight to behold during the fall. These red dragon flowers are usually small in size, measuring around 1 to 2 inches in diameter. With a deep purple-black center, their exterior is brownish-red, while their interior is velvety reddish-black.
To propagate this beautiful succulent can be done through stem cuttings. To grow a red dragon flower, cut a healthy stem and let it dry for a few days. Once calloused, plant the cutting in well-draining soil or a mix of cactus soil and perlite. Keep the soil lightly moist and place it in a warm, bright location. With time and care, the cutting will develop roots and grow into a new flower, allowing you to expand your collection and share its beauty.
Care:
Watering - thoroughly water the dragon flower plant until water drains out of the bottom of the pot, and then allow the soil to completely dry out before watering again
Light - place in a south-facing window indoors and full sunlight outdoors
Soil - use a premium cactus mix
