How to take care of Huernia Macrocarpa

Sun: Direct to Indirect

Place your Huernia Macrocarpa near a sunny window where it gets plenty of light but avoid harsh midday rays to prevent leaf scorch.

Light: Medium - Bright

They enjoy some direct sun, but they'll also do well in bright, indirect light. Morning sun or a few hours of gentle afternoon light will help them thrive.

Water: When Fully Dry

Water only when the soil is completely dry. This succulent stores moisture in its stems, so too much water can quickly lead to root rot.

Humidity: Any

They grow well in average indoor humidity levels, around 40–60%, and don’t need misting.

Pet Friendly: Caution

It isn’t highly toxic, but eating it can cause mild stomach upset in pets. Keep it out of their reach.

Pro Tip

Use a cactus or succulent soil mix for good drainage, and rotate the pot every 2–3 weeks to help the plant grow evenly on all sides.

Your Complete Guide to Pot Sizes: What Size Should You Choose?

When selecting a pot for your plant, it's important to find the right size. But with all the different options out there, how do you know which one is best? We're here to help!

MyGreenscape's pot sizes chart is a great resource for finding your perfect fit. Our easy-to-read chart takes out all the guesswork and helps you quickly choose the right size for your plant.

Smaller pots are best for seedlings or small plants just starting out. These tend to be shallow but wide, allowing enough room for the roots of the young plant but not too much where they get overcrowded. Medium-sized pots are ideal when your plant has grown from its infancy and is ready for more space. These are deeper and wider than small pots, so that it can accommodate larger root systems - making sure your plant gets enough nourishment while still giving it breathing room. Large pots are top choice if you have an established plant in need of lots of space - think trees and large shrubs! The spacious depth and width allow plenty of room for deep root systems without struggling for air or light.

No matter what size you choose, MyGreenscape has got you covered, with our pot sizes chart guaranteeing you find the perfect fit every time!
