4” Grower Pot – Lifesaver Cactus (Huernia zebrina)
The Lifesaver Cactus is a fascinating succulent that lives up to its name—producing star-shaped, creamy yellow flowers with bold maroon striping and a glossy, candy-red center that looks just like a little gummy lifesaver candy. Its chunky, green, spined stems grow low and spread outward, making it an eye-catching conversation piece for windowsills, sunny desks, or succulent collections.
Care Instructions:
Light: Prefers bright, indirect to direct sunlight; a sunny windowsill is ideal.
Water: Water thoroughly when the soil is completely dry; drought-tolerant and sensitive to overwatering.
Humidity: Low humidity preferred.
Fertilizer: Feed once a month during spring and summer with a cactus/succulent fertilizer.
Growth Habit: Low-growing, spreading succulent.
Pet Safety: This plant is non-toxic but has spines, so handle with care.
