Huernia guttatasubsp.calitzdorpensisis a succulent plant with upright stems that arm out at the al-Qaida , form a dense chunk with age .
Its larger and dark flowers distinguish it fromHuernia guttatasubsp.guttata . The tubing is dark maroon and from time to time marked with some dim yellowish lines . The whisker at the pharynx of the vacuum tube are much longer and more strongly clavate . The peak can reach a diam of 2.8 inch ( 7 cm ) .
USDA hardiness zones10b to 11b : from 35 ° F ( +1.7 ° C ) to 50 ° F ( +10 ° coulomb ) .
Huernias expect apotting intermixture with excellent drainage . A succulent industrial plant mix of 50 percentage pumice or perlite , 25 per centum peat or constitutional mulch , and 25 percent Baroness Dudevant helps keep rotting andoverwatering . Roots have dieback in cool - time of year quiescence , so flora grow best in shallow container that allow the soil to dry out quickly . Using clay pots further help the dirt from stick too wet . An underlayment of coarse gravel below the soil mixture also improves drain . In climate with damp , coolheaded summers , a bed of crushed rock between the plant and the soil mixing also help prevent the stems from stay too moist .
Outdoor plantings do well in raised bed . Huernias favour smart brightness level or partial shade . In nature , they grow underneath shrubs or other plants . Too much Dominicus causes stem to develop protective reddish or purple pigmentation and can actually scald the stems . Too fiddling light leave to weakly , thin growth with fall flower yield . These plants grow best between 50 and 80 ° F ( 10 and 27 ° 100 ) . Protect them from freezing weather condition .
