Low Maintenance

The Red Dragon Flower is a succulent that stands out due to its unique appearance. Thick green stems have evenly spaced spines. The plant will form branches as it grows, and mature plants produce deep red, bell-shaped flowers near the base of the plant. Also known as Huernia schneideriana, this plant has a spreading form and can reach 18 inches tall.

Best Locations For Growing Red Dragon Flower

The Red Dragon Flower is adaptable and can comfortably live in most rooms of a home. Plenty of sunlight is the main requirement. Keep this succulent away from a steamy bathroom or humid sunroom. Huernia schneideriana is moderately toxic, so be careful introducing this plant into your space if you have children or pets.

Red Dragon Flower Sunlight Requirements

Increased sunlight is necessary for the Red Dragon Flower to thrive and bloom, but direct sunlight may burn the plant. A location near a west- or east-facing window can provide enough bright light without the damaging rays of direct light.

Red Dragon Flower Care

The Red Dragon Flower plant needs soil with excellent drainage. When repotting, select a shallow container. This succulent does not have deep roots, and a shallow pot allows the potting mix to dry quickly, preventing the roots from sitting in damp soil.

Watering Red Dragon Flower

The Red Dragon Flower is a succulent that naturally grows in arid climates, so less water is best. The plant stores water in its fleshy stems and only needs water from you when the potting soil is dry. When you water, saturate the potting soil and remove runoff from the saucer or cover pot. Low or average humidity is good for the Red Dragon Flower.

Feeding Red Dragon Flower

Huernia schneideriana plants are not heavy feeders, but fertilizing monthly supports new growth and increases the odds of the plant blooming. Use a balanced plant food or a product formulated for cacti every four weeks. Do not fertilize your Red Dragon Flower during the dormant season.
