This plant is from a summer 'rainfall' area in Namibia where the plant lives mostly off of fog drip. It should be sheltered from winter rains if possible and will rot out given consistently wet roots in winter. Haworthias are some of the most drought-tolerant succulents, especially in some shade, where they perform better than most other succulents. They will look more lush and vibrant with bi-weekly summer water.

Notas de cultivo

This succulent grows in the cracks of rocks in nature, making it an exceptional choice for pots, even small ones. It grows from underground stolons (shoots) that will pop up at soil level, making a colony that fills up the pot overtime, or makes a clustering colony in a rockery.

Stolons are easily divided and repotted.

Interés especial

This is the only haworthia found in Namibia.

The 'windows' of this plant are a fascinating adaptation. In habitat the plant grows with the leaf mostly underground, and only its windows exposed right at soil level. This allows sunlight to penetrate the leaf which photosynthesizes from the inside! In this way the plant gets a large surface area to photosynthesize with, but only a very small surface area exposed to the elements. Many succulent windows will illuminate if you shine a light in them, or place them in a window where they can be backlit.
