Product Description
Huernia pendula, also known as Bootlace Huernia, is a fascinating succulent native to South Africa. Huernia pendula has irregularly branched shoots that lean back, creep, or hang down from cliffs. The stems are green to reddish, sometimes purplish-mottled, and can reach up to 150 cm in length. The plant is leafless and has small, bell-shaped purple flowers with triangular lobes that appear from spring to midsummer. This species is endemic to river gorges in the Transkei, Eastern Cape, South Africa. It grows in pockets of soil and leaf-litter on ledges of cliffs or rock outcrops, usually on north- or east-facing aspects. The rocky habitats where Huernia pendula grows harbor a rich succulent flora, including species like Cotyledon woodii, Gasteria excelsa, and Haworthia glabrata. The plant is safe from livestock trampling and grazing due to its inaccessible habitat. The small, bell-shaped flowers are deep maroon-red and emit a scent of decaying meat to attract flies for pollination. The flowers are about .5 - 14-22 mm in diameter and have a bowl-shaped corolla.

Ships in the 3.5” pots shown in the pictures. You will receive a plant that is very similar to the plants pictured however they may have grown some or depending on the time of year, they could be semi-dormant. Some plants will drop their leaves in winter - Crown of Thorns, Buddha Belly Jatropha, Etc. I have only grown plants in Florida and will send out anything I feel comfortable will grow here. It is up to you to know the conditions that these plants grow in the part of the country you reside. If your plant arrives rotting or dead, we will replace it for you. Please contact me with photo proof within 24 hours of delivery of your plants. It is my commitment to provide you with a live, healthy plant. Please note that minor cosmetic damage, such as a few broken leaves or small stems, may occur during transit and is a common risk inherent in the shipping process. Again, we cannot guarantee that some leaves won’t be broken or fall off- It is normal to lose some depending on the variety (Sedum, Echeveria, Cotyledon, Graptopetalum, etc...). Many kinds of leaves will re-root and grow into a new plant. Some that do not are Cotyledon and Aeonium. After 24 hours, my job is done and it is up to you (The buyer) to know how to keep it alive.
Heat packs are available for purchase with your item to use if cold weather is expected at the time of shipment. (Link to Heat Pack: bit.ly/40ugd4J ) Keep in mind some plants we carry are very tropical and even cold, not freezing, temperatures can kill them. I will cancel any order I feel won't make it safely to its destination without freezing. 📌IF YOU EXPECT COLD WEATHER, PLEASE PURCHASE A HEAT PACK!📌 I don't make any profit off of them because they are a necessary shipping item in winter.
