Haworthia is a medium-sized genus of Southern African plants. They are leaf succulents, forming very attractive starry rosettes decorated by either windows, teeth or hairs, various textures, markings,and colours.
 
Caring for your Haworthia
 
Pot: Most Haworthia hybrids are best suited to cultivation in containers. Some species like H. cymbifomis will do well in a shady rockery in frost free areas.
 
Soil: The plants prefer a well-drained soil, a mixture of sandy soil with some organic matter.
 
Light: The brighter the light, the more colourful your plant. However, Haworthia should be protected from direct sunlight. They prefer growing in shadier positions, but giving them more light will let their colours come to light.
 
Water: Let your plants' soil dry out for a few days between watering. Rather underwater than over-water to avoid root loss. Cut back on watering during the coldest and warmest months of the year.
