Haworthia sp.

Haworthia is a genus of succulent plants endemic to southern Africa. In the wild, they often grow under shrubby plants or in rock crevices. Most appear as low-growing rosettes of succulent leaves, many with dynamic markings such as here.

Lovely! I love the markings on the leaves, they remind me of corduroy. I have a Haworthia fasciata, which is growing nicely indoors. Posted 2 years ago

  I would imagine they do very well in the indoor light and a northern hemisphere house that's kept warm in winter. Mine are outside all year, it being temperate in these parts. But I've certainly learned my lesson getting the outdoor light just right, these do not like direct sun (especially how intense it is down here in Australia), at all. Some nasty leaf burns over the years. Posted 2 years ago, modified 2 years ago

    Oh, wow. I didn't realize that about the possibility of the leaves burning. Although, it's probably not an issue where I live. Mine gets moderate sun with just a bit of full sun. It must be amazing to be able to grow plants such as this outdoors! Posted 2 years ago
