Huernia reticulata (guttata) or Life Saver (Lifesaver) Cactus is one of a little over 60 different species of this unusual and unique African native succulent. Although it is commonly called a cactus due to the it's similarities shape and water requirements, it is not a member of the cacti family.
Huernias are low growing perennial succulents with angular fleshy stems lines with large, but soft spines. The stems are grey green and in some cases, as with this cultivar, Huernia reticulata, blushed with red.
The flowers are unique to the species, generally small (an inch or two in diameter) with 5 pointed in an interesting and unique zebra like striped pattern with a raised deep maroon ring in the center that resembles a life saver candy or life preserver buoy.
Huernias are easy to grow, with few special considerations, for the best results:
Pot or plant in a course, free draining media
Clay pots are helpful for encouraging drying between watering, but not an absolute requirement
Protect from frost or freeze
Avoid overwatering
Treat any signs of fungus (typically a sign of over watering) promptly.
Easily reproduces from off shoots
