Introducing the red dragon flower, known as Huernia schneideriana. This red dragon is also known as Ceropegia 'Red Dragon Flower'. The species name "schneideriana" is in honor of Gustav Schneider, a German botanist who made significant contributions to the study of succulent plants.
Huernia schneideriana is a visually appealing succulent that grows glaucous green stem clumps and is often twisted along the stem. The stems are erect, prostrate, or pendulous and can grow up to 18 inches long and 0.6 inches wide.
The flowers of Huernia schneideriana are bell-shaped; they are truly a sight to behold during the fall. These red dragon flowers are usually small in size, measuring around 1 to 2 inches in diameter. With a deep purple-black center, their exterior is brownish-red, while their interior is velvety reddish-black. The bell-shaped flowers have a charming and exotic appearance, making them a beautiful addition to any succulent collection.
