About Haworthiopsis
 
Haworthiopsis is a small sized genus of mainly South African leaf succulents. They form small attractive rosettes, often textured, marked or with tuberculated leaves. The plants can be stemless, forming low-growing rosettes, or may be stemmed in some species. There are about 18 species, but the number of species vary considerably, depending on the species-concept of the taxonomist and author.
 
The species of this genus was formerly included in the subgenus Hexangulares of Haworthia. The genus is widespread and predominately found in the Eastern and Western Cape provinces but is also known from the Northern Cape, KwaZulu-Natal to Mpumalanga. It is a nearly endemic genus to South Africa, except for a few records known from Namibia and Swaziland.
 
Caring for your Haworthiopsis 
 
Pot: Haworthiopsis is well suited to cultivation in containers. Some species are also very well suited to a protected spot in the 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 they prefer sunny conditions, they also do well in shadier positions.
 
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.
