Huernia succulents are low growing succulents native to the deserts of Southern and East Africa, all the way to Arabia, and are thus found growing mostly at the base of other plants in partial sun to bright light/shade.  Therefore, in order to maintain their healthy succulent sage green color, these beauties prefer bright light to partial shade, whereas in harsh full sun they can slightly shrivel and turn colors ranging from grey to red to bright purple - as a means of protection.  Extended periods of exposure to full sun can be harmful, causing parts of the plant to dry up completely and die.

When it comes to watering, be very careful!  Huernias can easily rot if you water them too much, like most succulents they hate wet soggy roots for extended periods of time.

Fertilization should be done during the growing season, not during Winter dormancy.
