Gloriously bright green, thick, oval shaped leaves truly do resemble a handful of apple-flavored candies, as they cluster densely up the stems of S hernandezii. In bright light, the tips of the leaves will begin to flush shades of vibrant red and sunny yellow, though they will retain their solid green coloration in more dim conditions.  Reaching lengths of 8 inches or more at maturity, the stems will begin to gently drape when added along the rim of hanging baskets and other containers.

This Mexican native will best thrive in brightly sunny conditions, where it can achieve its most active growth and varied coloration. That said, it is an excellent variety for beginners, as its needs are quite straightforward. Extremely tolerant of drought, it does not want to be left with ‘wet feet,’ meaning that a thorough yet quite infrequent watering routine is just the ticket. As further insurance against excess moisture, be sure to provide this specimen with a porous soil mixture within a well-draining pot, and ensure ample airflow around the leaves and soil surface.

Hardy only to Zone 10,  this plant must be protected from frost during the winter months. In the spring and summertime, however, clusters of star-shaped yellow blooms will emerge from the tips of each stem, where they will serve as excellent pollinator attractors!

    All plants are shipped bare-root with the exception of House Plants and Plant Club Subscription Boxes. House plants and succulents will ship from separate locations and may arrive at different times. Orders ship Monday-Friday each week. Please allow 1-3 business days for your order to be processed. We ship within the USA and its outlying territories ONLY. Read our full policy here.

    Plant sizing is based on the diameter of the nursery pot (2", 2.5", 3", 4" etc), not the plant itself. Plants may be slightly larger or smaller than the pot they are grow in depending on availability or time of year. While we do our best to ship plants as similar to those pictured as possible, please keep in mind that all plants are unique from one to the next, and display color, shape, and growth variation based on current environment, time of year, and other contributing factors. Please note that we ship our plants as dry as possible in the fall and winter months to prevent root rot or freezing. They will plump back up after planting!
