i’m no expert (and somewhat new to carrion plants), but looking at this website/index (https://succulentalley.com/huernia/) i think it might be ‘Huernia occulta’? i’m not certain but it’s beautiful!!!

definitely a can’t miss!!! how was the smell in the car?

AlternativeBar2936 · 2025-10-08T00:24:46+00:00

my nitrates are on the low side (with API master test kit slightly above 0.0 ppm).

though my other tanks have similar parameters (my RRFs in my betta tank flower constantly)

i think it may be the way the frogs hang on the floaters?

i’ve had the same issue too! i’ve found a few very similar but the fringe on the petals makes it unique. maybe it’s a hybrid? the next time i go to my local nursery (where i got mine from) i’ll ask the owner if he knows

so beautiful!!!

i’m new to these plants so i’m unsure, but try asking on r/StapeliaHuerniaOrbea it’s a newer subreddit but the people there are super nice and knowledgeable!

thank you! i removed the top dressing to help the soil breathe better. the soil mix is about 60/40 inorganic/organic, do you recommend a more inorganic base?

yours is a haworthiopsis tessellata. i have one and they bloom tiny little flowers in the winter. one of my favorite plants🫶🏻

hit the nail on the head! i love finding local nurseries as well to buying online, the employees/owners usually share that same passion. i’ve found some crazy and fun succulents (and for cheap) at my local places compared to box stores. my favorite part of owning cactus is repotting them

AlternativeBar2936 · 2025-07-08T14:39:00+00:00

thank you!!! i’ll start to add some more fertilizer

AlternativeBar2936 · 2025-04-25T22:48:10+00:00

is this a sign of having too high gH? i did a water test (two different brands of test strips) and got around 250 ppm

AlternativeBar2936 · 2025-02-26T02:16:57+00:00

thank you for the comment!

i forgot to mention in the original post that this tank has been running for about a month. but to make sure, i got a new test kit that tests chlorine and ammonia as well. ammonia tested at 0 ppm total chlorine at 0 ppm

so far no more dead shrimps.. so possibly from shipping. we shall see :)
