    I got this as a start from my uncle who lives in Phoenix, AZ. He said he got it at a yard sale (in a pot). I don't know if it is native to this area or a houseplant...? I have it as a houseplant, I managed to get it to root and it is doing rather well. I just want to know what it is and how to take care of it (I have been guessing, and luckily it is still alive) Thank you very much!

    Huernia schneideriana is a widely grown natural hybrid from Africa.

    Grow it in good light in a south facing window or outdoors in the summer in a shady spot and the new growth will be more compact and fatter and the plant will even bloom.
