Huernia is a genus of flowering plants in the Apocynaceae family, native to southern Africa. They are commonly known as "carrion flowers" or "carrion plant" because of their foul smell, which attracts flies for pollination.
Huernia plants are succulents with thick stems that store water, allowing them to survive in arid desert conditions. They produce unique star-shaped flowers that range in color from yellow and red to brown and purple. The flowers have hairy or warty surfaces and are often covered in fine hairs that give them a fuzzy appearance.
These plants are popular among collectors for their unusual appearance and interesting flowers. They are relatively easy to care for, requiring well-draining soil, bright light, and occasional watering. Huernia plants are also known for their ability to produce offsets, which can be propagated to create new plants.
Overall, Huernia is a fascinating genus of succulent plants that add an exotic touch to any garden or indoor plant collection.
