this is a very unique, weird snake cactus (huernia schneideriana red dragon flower succulent LIVE plant). You will get 4 pieces of bare root cactus ready to plant. One will be at least 8 inches long, and the other 3 will be at least 4 inches long. When they arrive, place in a pot with dirt and/or some potting soil and water; then water every 1-2 weeks when the soil had dried out. You can also just stick the pieces into another plant you already have. This succulent loves the sun, but can also live in partial shade. Does well inside or out, but be sure to bring inside when it freezes. It will produce red flowers in warm summer months as it grows. It will also start to have (babies) coming off the sides once it becomes established after several months which you can leave to grow bigger, or twist off and plant or give away. It is a really fun & easy to grow plant you will enjoy watching.
