Huernia saudi-arabica 🌵
(Lifesaver Plant, Carrion Flower)

Huernia saudi-arabica is a striking succulent from arid regions, known for its fleshy toothed stems and star-shaped, maroon-red flowers with a thick, glossy ring in the center (like a “lifesaver candy”). Despite its exotic look, it’s easy to grow if kept dry and bright.

Here’s a complete care guide for Huernia Saudi-Arabica👇:

🌞 Light

Needs: Bright light to full sun for 4–6 hours daily.
Best spot: Sunny windowsill or balcony with filtered afternoon light.
Tip: In very hot climates, give partial shade during peak noon sun to prevent stem scorch.

🌡️ Temperature

Ideal: 20–32°C
Minimum: 10°C — protect from cold or frost.
Can tolerate dry heat very well.

💧 Watering

Growing season (spring–autumn): Water moderately when soil is completely dry (every 10–14 days).
Winter: Keep almost dry — just a light watering once a month.
Avoid: Water on stems or crown; it can cause rot quickly.

🌵 Soil

Needs: Very well-draining soil.
Best mix: 50% cactus mix + 25% coarse sand + 25% pumice or perlite.
Optional: Add small gravel at the bottom for extra drainage.

🪴 Pot

Use: Shallow, wide terracotta or clay pot with drainage holes.
Repot: Every 2–3 years or when clumps outgrow the pot; refresh soil each time.

🌸 Fertilizer

During growth (spring–autumn): Use diluted cactus fertilizer once a month.
Do not fertilize in winter.

🌼 Flowering

Produces star-shaped, fleshy maroon flowers with a waxy ring (lifesaver look).
Flowers appear at the base of stems and attract flies for pollination.
Blooms best when slightly root-bound and kept sunny.

⚠️ Common Issues

Problem	Cause	Solution
Soft, mushy stems	Overwatering or poor drainage	Remove affected parts, replant in dry mix
No flowers	Low light or overfeeding	Give more sun, reduce fertilizer
Shriveling stems	Underwatering or too much sun	Water slightly, move to partial light
Mealybugs	Common pest	Dab with neem oil or insecticidal soap

🌱 Propagation

Stem cuttings:
1. Cut a healthy stem and let it dry (callous) for 2–3 days.
2. Plant in dry, sandy soil.
3. Water only after 5–7 days.
Offsets: Separate and plant pups once they root naturally.
