A small South African succulent forming tight rosettes of pointed leaves, popular with collectors for the diversity of leaf shapes and translucent windows.
Description
Haworthias form compact rosettes of stiff, often dark green leaves marked with white bands, dots, or translucent panels. Tiny white tubular flowers rise on wiry stalks.
Cultivation
Smaller and slower than aloes, haworthias tolerate lower light than most succulents, even thriving on shaded windowsills. Gritty mix and careful watering keep roots healthy.
Uses
A favorite of succulent collectors, hundreds of named species and cultivars are traded on social media and at speciality shows. Easy and forgiving, they make ideal first succulent houseplants.
