Hoodia juttae is a species of plant in the Asclepiadaceae family. It is endemic to Namibia. Its natural habitats are rocky areas and cold desert. Hoodia juttae is threatened by habitat loss.

Propagation is done mainly from seed. Cuttings are not really an option, as the severed ends very rarely form a callus from where roots will eventually form.
